This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

The school is safe and welcoming. All pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and their welfare, care and safety are at the centre of everything that leaders and staff do. This includes making sure that all pupils, and students in the sixth form, are given the skills they need to live as full a life as possible. For example, the personal, social and health education (PSHE) programme is especially strong and well thought out. It gives pupils and students lots of opportunities to develop their life skills and to understand the world outside school. The programme of learning for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) is highly effective. Teachers and learning support assistants (LSAs) work closely with pupils to give them an individual programme based on their complex needs. The wide range of resources supports this work extremely well. As a result, pupils in the PMLD classes get a high-quality experience of education. Staff make learning fun and build strong relationships with pupils. The success of this work shows in pupils’ positive attitudes and behaviour and in their enjoyment of school. Parents and carers confirm this. Some said that their children enjoy school so much that they want to be there in the holidays. Learning is purposeful, with opportunities for older pupils to gain external qualifications and to go on to college.
