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 in this school love learning and playing outside with their friends come rain, shine or wind. They enjoy nothing more than pulling on their wellies and marching onto the field to build, create and explore at lunchtime. The curriculum is enhanced by many opportunities for pupils to visit different places in the school’s minibuses, to deepen and widen their experiences. For example, they visit museums, castles and beaches. Eastling is a place where everyone is kind and friendly. Pupils can be themselves because they feel happy and safe. Older pupils take their responsibilities as monitors, librarians, buddies and prefects really seriously. Pupils care for each other. They know what bullying, including cyber-bullying is, but do not think it happens here. At worst, sometimes pupils use unkind names, but adults sort this out quickly. Behaviour in lessons and at playtimes is good. Leaders have high expectations and want pupils to achieve the best they can. Reading is prioritised and pupils are introduced to a range of classic texts throughout their time at the school. Topics in a range of subjects are linked effortlessly with the outside environment and the school’s rural community and setting.

OUR PARENTS' VIEWS:

Just a few comments from the Parents' questionnaire 2015

“The community and family involvement by the school and its staff is excellent and was an enormous deciding factor in choosing Eastling . The pastoral care is first rate. “

“The professional and friendly nature of the staff towards the children is brilliant. This in turn reflects through the happiness and well being of how the children act in themselves and towards others 8-)”

“Lovely family feel with well mannered children”

“A happy and safe environment in which to learn with good teachers

“The school recognises each child's strengths and weaknesses and helps more if needed in certain subjects.”

"The fact that the HT knows every child individually, and that it's a small school and the children get on with each other most of the time."

The catchment map is incorrect. Pupils as far as Teynham or Whitstable regularly get places at the school.
