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. Leaders, staff and governors successfully promote the school’s core values, ‘Where everyone is special’. Good-quality displays of pupils’ art work, independent writing, science investigations and information and communication technology (ICT) projects show how much staff and governors value pupils’ efforts. Pupils’ work and displays show improvements to the curriculum. Pupils use mathematics and ICT much more than previously, which was an area for improvement reported at the time of the school’s previous inspection. Evidence from pupils’ books shows that leaders and staff have focused successfully on improving pupils’ writing. The new handwriting policy is starting to have an impact on helping pupils to form their letters accurately when writing independently. However, in some classes, pupils’ handwriting is uneven, so more is needed to achieve more consistency. The vast majority of parents I spoke to and who completed the online questionnaire, Parent View, are very pleased with the care and education provided by you and your staff team. Most parents would recommend the school to others. You and the deputy headteacher provide strong leadership. Governance has improved well since the previous inspection as this was an area for improvement at that time. You have played a significant role in overseeing, with the chair of the governing body, a restructuring of governors’ roles and responsibilities. The governing body and its composition have changed a great deal since the previous inspection. Governors bring significant skills and experience to help leaders and staff sustain improvements to the school. Senior leaders, governors and staff with management and oversight of subjects or aspects of the school monitor teaching and learning regularly and effectively. This too is an improvement since the previous inspection, including the impact of intervention work to support pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The governing body provides a good balance of challenge and support to hold leaders and staff to account for pupils’ achievements and staff performance. The teaching is good and pupils’ achievements continue to improve because of effective monitoring of staff performance, accurate assessments of pupils’ progress and significant improvements to the school’s curriculum. Leaders have managed some well-devised training, professional development and support that are helpful to teachers and support staff. As a result, teachers set consistent expectations for work and behaviour in lessons and teaching assistants provide more consistently effective support in lessons compared with that at the time of the previous inspection. Increasingly, you and your staff share best practice across the school and with other partner schools in your local consortium. However, some teaching does not provide enough challenge, particularly in mathematics. This slows the progress of those pupils who have the potential to reach high standards in mathematics or acquire knowledge at greater depth. There is a strong commitment to improving pupils’ academic and personal development. Leaders, staff and governors make an excellent contribution to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. This is clearly evident in the religious character of the school through its Catholicity, as well as the enrichment offered to pupils through a broad range of activities, visits and experiences. You and the staff provide a rich variety of lessons, subjects, topics and extra-curricular enrichment that also reflect core British values of respect, tolerance and understanding of different faiths, cultures and customs. For example, pupils are currently preparing to commemorate Remembrance Day and, at the time of the inspection, were celebrating a Holy Day of Obligation, All Saints’ Day, in the neighbouring church. Safeguarding is effective. Safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose, effective and robust. Staff vetting procedures include systematic checks on all visitors, volunteers, governors and supply staff. The indoor and outdoor areas include a good range of stimulating resources and areas available for early years children are clean, safe and secure. Pupils know what to do to keep themselves safe when using the internet or mobile devices.
