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 work effectively with other leaders to promote a vibrant and highly valued community school. You are uncompromising and place pupils at the heart of your decision making. Together with other leaders, including governors, you are continuing to improve the school. You understand the changing context and growth of the school and have ensured that the school takes the right steps to meet pupils’ needs. For example, your strategic decisions to develop the provision and support for pupils who speak English as an additional language are enabling them to do well. In addition, pupils in the specialist resource provision (SRP) who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are supported effectively through welldirected support and an inclusive culture to ensure that they succeed. Your self-evaluation of the school’s work is robust and accurate. You rigorously check the quality of teaching, ensuring that pupils’ progress is the key determinant in driving improvements. You and other leaders hold teachers to account consistently well. You identify where teachers need support to improve and thereby have ensured good teaching across the school. Furthermore, through regularly providing high-quality training and professional development, you have successfully nurtured leadership talent to form an effective leadership team. For example, the phonics leader’s expertise is recognised by the local authority and her strong practice is being used successfully to lead training for other schools. Leaders work effectively together with a shared enthusiasm and commitment which are reflected by teachers and pupils. Pupils and parents and carers are proud of the school. In fact, 91% of parents would recommend it. For example, in response to Parent View, a parent says, ‘The school is superb,’ and, ‘I believe that Even Swindon is an excellent school that fully meets my child’s needs.’ Pupils make valuable contributions in lessons and around the school. However, pupils’ attendance is below the national average, particularly for disadvantaged pupils. In addition, the percentage of pupils with persistently high absence is almost twice the national average. You recognise this and are working with a range of personnel to tackle this to improve attendance and ensure that pupils get the most from their education. Since the previous inspection, you have worked diligently to address the identified areas for improvement. In particular, you have tackled weaknesses in the teaching of mathematics so that pupils’ outcomes have improved well. You have also improved processes and systems for tracking pupils’ progress to ensure that teachers use assessment information productively. Teachers are regularly matching work closely to pupils’ needs. However, you recognise that there is more to do to ensure that pupils build on the good start they make in early years. We agreed that, although children make strong progress from low starting points, it is imperative that children maintain their progress so that a greater proportion reach national benchmarks by the end of their Reception Year (to achieve a ‘good level of development’) and in meeting age-appropriate standards in their phonic knowledge in order for them to be well set for the next stage in their education. Safeguarding is effective. There is a strong culture of safeguarding in the school. The leadership team ensures that all safeguarding arrangements are robust and fit for purpose. As a result, staff are well trained and diligent. They know what to do to keep them safe. You lead by example as the school’s designated safeguarding lead. Together with other staff, you work well with parents, families and external agencies to provide effective and personalised support. You also take timely action to intervene for pupils, either referring or seeking other professional advice when the need arises, including the police or social services. Pupils say that they feel safe. They have confidence that staff will look after them. Pupils talk articulately about the role of Year 5/6 anti-bullying monitors and have gained a good understanding of bullying, for example through assemblies. They also know how to stay safe online. Pupils recognise the importance of staying safe and their role in this. They play and learn well together to make Even Swindon Primary a welcoming, secure and inclusive environment. This is reflected in how pupils in the SRP are well supported, often with successful and full reintegration into the rest of the school.
