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

This is a larger-than-average-sized primary school. All pupils attend full time. In response to local demand, the school is increasing in size. Most of the pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, with the largest groups Black African and White British. With 27 home languages spoken in the school, the proportion of pupils speaking English as an additional language is above the national average. Of these, a small minority is at the early stages of learning English. The proportion of disabled pupils and those pupils with special educational needs is below the national average. Most of the additional needs relate to communication and speech and language difficulties. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium is broadly average. The government provides this additional funding to give additional support to pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after. The school meets all the government’s floor targets. These set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school has received external recognition of its work in planning the range of subjects and activities that pupils’ experience. The school's section 48 inspection of religious character took place in October 2014. It was judged outstanding. The school became an academy on 1 May 2013. It is part of the Trinitas Academy Trust alongside St Augustine of Canterbury C of E Primary School, and Trinity Church of England School, Belvedere. A chief executive has overall responsibility for the trust and the primary academies are led by an executive headteacher supported by a head of school in each. Trinitas Academy Trust is led by a board of directors, which includes members from the local governing body of each of the schools.

“Beware”

"> Beware, although academically the school is fine, I'm disgusted that, as a CofE school, there does not appear to be an acceptance of people if they are different. In my opinion, this school should be investigated deeper by Ofsted.
