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

Since the previous inspection, the school has expanded. The school now consists of two sites: Djanogly Northgate Academy and Djanogly Sherwood Academy. Each site has its own head of school and leaders. As executive headteacher, you are responsible for both sites, which together constitute Djanogly Northgate Academy. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and have identified areas in need of development. You are taking effective action to bring about the necessary improvements. You are aspirational for pupils’ success and have communicated a clear vision that places pupils at the heart of all that you do. You have created a culture where all members of staff work together to ensure the best possible education for pupils. Pupils are happy and enjoy their experiences in school. They are polite, confident and self-assured. Pupils recognise that their teachers want them to do well and are keen to succeed in all aspects of school life. Pupils benefit from a range of enriching experiences. For example, they are able to take on responsibilities such as acting as reading buddies for younger pupils. Pupils appreciate these opportunities and are proud to be members of the school. Parents and carers are extremely positive about the school and appreciate the support that they receive. Leaders have developed positive relationships with parents, but further work is to be done to reduce the proportion of pupils who are persistently absent from school. Since the last inspection, you have introduced a new approach to school improvement. The ‘journey to excellence’ ethos permeates all aspects of the school. Staff are encouraged to discuss and reflect on their teaching skills. You have allocated time in staff meetings and training days to enable staff to share best practice and to learn from one another. For example, staff participate in workshops delivered by their colleagues. They also observe each other’s teaching, identifying strengths and discussing where improvements could be made. All staff have ‘journey to excellence’ targets, which they regularly review. There is an openness about staff development and a strong sense of collaboration. Staff are extremely positive about this approach and said that it has helped them to improve. Staff are also appreciative of the training and professional development they have received from the academy trust. The last inspection identified the need to cultivate pupils’ imaginations in order to improve their writing. You have introduced the idea of pupils becoming experts in a chosen topic in order to develop creativity. For example, pupils participate in practical sessions such as role play and research activities. They are then set a series of ‘quests’ to complete before they apply this knowledge and learning to their written work. Work in pupils’ books demonstrates that this approach is having a positive effect. In 2017, the proportion of pupils who reached the expected and higher standards in writing, by the end of key stage 2, was above the national average. There are many strengths in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, but there are inconsistencies across the school, both between and within the two sites. Nevertheless, teaching remains good and most pupils make very good progress as a result. Teachers use assessment information to provide a range of activities which challenge pupils’ different abilities and provide support for those who need it. Teachers use questioning skilfully, to probe and develop pupils’ understanding. However, there are instances when teachers do not use information about what pupils are able to do to plan activities which build on what they already know. The most able pupils are not moved onto more challenging activities quickly enough. This is particularly so in English lessons and for younger pupils, including children in the early years. Leaders have not ensured that teachers apply the assessment and feedback policy consistently so that pupils know how to improve their work. Subject leaders do not consistently evaluate the quality of provision in their areas, and action taken to improve the quality of teaching is not equally effective across the school. Governance is provided by the local governing body and the board of trustees. Members recognise their roles and responsibilities and have a good understanding of the school’s strengths and areas in need of improvement. They have the skills to hold leaders to account and do so effectively.
