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 leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Based on the evidence gathered during this short inspection, I am of the opinion that the school has demonstrated strong practice and marked improvement in specific areas. This may indicate that the school has improved significantly overall. Therefore, I am recommending that the school’s next inspection be a section 5 inspection. You and your leadership team have taken very effective actions to refine the curriculum. You have chosen challenging and interesting fiction and non-fiction books to connect the learning journeys pupils undertake across all subjects. For example, Year 5 pupils read a book about the explorer Ernest Shackleton. This book is used as the basis of a wide range of interesting and challenging learning activities for Year 5 pupils to engage in. As a result, pupils develop extensive subject knowledge and skills in English, history, geography and other subjects, based on the book’s content. The sequence of learning and the connections pupils develop across many subjects is very evident. Pupils make very strong progress. You have effective checking systems which provide you and your leaders with an accurate view of the high standards of teaching and learning in the school. You are relentless in ensuring that teaching consistently meets your very high expectations for all pupils to be challenged to learn more. You have detailed strategic plans in place to make the curriculum even stronger. Your next step is to consider how you evaluate the impact of the curriculum changes on pupils knowing even more subject-specific knowledge and skills, so that pupils make more links across the topics they study and continue to make such strong progress. You have created a purposeful and happy environment for learning. Pupils have time built in to the day where they learn techniques to help them focus on their personal and social welfare. Pupils have mindfulness activities, including learning yoga, as part of their curriculum. You play tranquil music across the school at the start of the day to help pupils begin their day calmly and ready to learn. Your emphasis on promoting the pupils’ awareness of their own and others’ well-being is very effective. Pupils enjoy school greatly and are very happy at school. Pupils are very well prepared to learn. They thrive in the positive, caring school environment. You have very high expectations for pupils to always behave respectfully. This was very evident in the morning assembly during the inspection. Pupils sang together well and clearly enjoyed this opportunity. Pupils listened intently to their teachers’ instructions during the assembly and were very well behaved. Pupils’ behaviour across the school at other times during the inspection, including playtimes, was exemplary. Leaders have developed a supportive community ethos highly valued by parents and pupils. Parents spoken to by the inspector and those who completed the online Ofsted survey, Parent View, were full of praise for the school. Parents particularly value the pre-school and after-school activities provided by staff. Many pupils attend and enjoy a wide range of activities including sports clubs such as football and multi-skills, cookery club, homework club and the very popular dance club. Leadership of the provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is very strong. Leaders have an accurate understanding of pupils’ individual needs. Leaders work closely with class teachers and very well-trained and effective teaching assistants to support pupils with SEND. As a result, pupils with SEND make strong progress towards their individual targets. You work very closely with those responsible for governance of the school. Regular visits to the school by trust leaders check the impact of leaders’ work on achieving school priorities. Trustees have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and the areas you are working on. Trustees hold you to account very effectively through the trust’s scheme of delegation. Trust leaders work collaboratively with you and your leaders and with parent advisors. As a result, the school has securely strengthened its position from the previous inspection, successfully tackling all recommendations made at that time. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. You and leaders have created a culture where pupils say that they feel safe in school. Parents agree with children’s views. Pupils learn about many age-appropriate personal, social, health and welfare topics.
