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

Pupils enjoy attending Clipstone Brook Lower School. They firmly believe in the school rules of Ready, Respectful, Safe. These guide their conduct. Pupils reflect these principles in their attitudes towards each other every day. They are proud that kindness is at the heart of the school’s values. They trust that the school is, in the words of many, ‘a very safe place to be’. This is because staff and pupils look out for each other. Pupils make an important contribution to the school community, for example by becoming an office monitor or a ‘buddy’ to younger children. These roles help to develop pupils’ self-esteem and confidence. Typically, pupils meet the school’s high expectations. They are proud of their own positive conduct and that of others. They are confident that staff will sort out any problems that may occur, quickly and fairly. Pupils are empathetic towards those who need extra support in managing their emotions. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. They work hard and learn to concentrate. This begins in the early years and continues over time. Pupils are enthusiastic learners. They enjoy their lessons. These include those held as part of the school’s outdoor wooded learning area.
