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. You lead the school confidently in a calm and measured way. This is because you have a clear, accurate and honest understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the school. Moreover, you have put precise and manageable plans in place to ensure that the school continues to improve. You have successfully used your extensive experience to develop the leadership skills of others across the federation of schools that you oversee. Developing the skills of other leaders was an area for improvement that emerged from the last inspection. For example, you have successfully supported the head of teaching and learning to become established in her role. Teaching is rapidly improving as a result. At the same time, you have brought your own skills to bear in establishing a school culture in which pupils aspire to achieve highly. Furthermore, you also take pride in the school’s nurturing and protective qualities. Staff work hard to embody the school’s values to ensure that the pupils in your care are safe and well looked after. As a result of the work of staff to build strong relationships with pupils, their parents and the local community, pupils feel valued as individuals. Governance has improved significantly since the last inspection. This is because governors now play a more strategic role, which has made them more effective in holding you to account. They contribute to the planning and monitoring of priorities for improvement, and cast a more critical eye over developments. Governors provide the right level of support and challenge to you. They use training, the findings of external consultants and different sources of school performance information to ask the right questions of you. Furthermore, this information allows them to carefully weigh the answers to these questions so that they can make good decisions and take appropriate actions. By the time pupils leave the school at the end of Year 6, they are well prepared for secondary school. This is because their start at East Anstey provides pupils with a solid foundation on which to build. They begin in pre-school and have many opportunities to mix with the older children to assist transition to the primary school. Stimulating learning environments, well-deployed resources and goodquality teaching ensure that pupils make good progress. This promising start, allied to improving teaching, enables most groups of pupils to make good progress as they move up through the school. Since the last inspection, staff monitor pupils’ learning in lessons more closely. They also ask questions that deepen pupils’ thinking. Consequently, by the time they leave school, pupils’ achievement is generally in line with national averages across a range of subjects. In reading, in part because of strong phonics teaching lower down the school, pupils’ achievement is above the national average. At the beginning of the inspection, we agreed on the key lines of enquiry to be considered during the day. These included establishing the effectiveness of actions taken to improve achievement in mathematics at key stage 2, for different groups of pupils. We also considered the effectiveness of actions to enable middle-ability pupils to achieve to the same level as their peers at key stage 1. Furthermore, we considered to what extent absence is being reduced for different groups of pupils and whether safeguarding is effective. These lines of enquiry are considered below under ‘Safeguarding’ and ‘Inspection findings’. Safeguarding is effective. Designated safeguarding leads and the wider staff know pupils and their families very well. This means that information about pupils, including concerns, can be shared easily among staff. Staff are encouraged to record any concerns they have and refer them to appropriate members of staff. They know the procedures for doing so. Referral records are well organised; the chronology of events in any given case is clear, as are the actions taken to resolve concerns. On the rare occasions that support is required from other external agencies, the timeliness and quality of support can be variable. However, safeguarding leads are persistent in ensuring that support comes from other sources if necessary. All staff have received appropriate child protection training so that they are vigilant and alert to changes in pupils’ behaviour and presentation. The checks to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children are complete and suitably detailed. Staff and governors involved in recruitment have received additional training to ensure that new staff joining the school are suitable. Pupils who spoke to me reported that they felt safe in school. They mentioned that the school’s gates and fencing are effective because ‘the little ones can’t get out’.
