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. Under your leadership the school has continued to flourish. You are uncompromising in your drive to ensure that the school’s vision – Every Child Can Succeed – is realised. It permeates every aspect of the work of the school. You view leadership as a shared and collaborative responsibility. You make good use of the different skills of other leaders and governors to ensure the school continues to improve. The Avocet Learning Trust, a partnership of three local primary schools, provides helpful support and constructive challenge. As a consequence of the work you undertake with these schools, you, governors and staff are clear about the school’s strengths and weaknesses. The expertise available across the schools is shared to provide goodquality training opportunities for staff which have improved teaching. One of the key strengths of your school is that you have ensured it is at the heart of the community and you have embraced the involvement of volunteers to support the work of the school. Parents express their confidence in the school. ‘Nothing is too much trouble’ and ‘they treat all children as individuals’ were typical of the many positive comments made by parents during the inspection. Pupils enjoy their time at school. Leaders and governors are resolute in their commitment to provide a curriculum that is enriched by a wide range of experiences within school, in the local community and further afield. You ensure that these activities broaden pupils’ experiences significantly, help them to develop good personal skills, and raise their aspirations for their futures. At the previous inspection, the school was asked to raise standards in mathematics and writing in key stage 2. The school’s motivating curriculum has supported pupils to make better progress, and standards in these subjects by Year 6 are now typically at or above the national standards. Pupils are confident that they can learn from their mistakes; they keep trying even when they find something difficult and are proud of their achievements. Improving outcomes for pupils in key stage 1 in reading, writing and mathematics is a school priority this year. To help achieve this goal you have made changes to the key stage 1 teaching team to make better use of staff expertise. A combination of investment in staff training, support from the English and mathematics leaders, and work with the trust schools has improved teaching so pupils are now making faster progress. You recognise that there is more work to do to lift the standard of pupils’ reading, writing and mathematics further, including for the most able pupils. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors ensure that a supportive, nurturing ethos is integral to the way the school works. This approach supports the strong culture of safeguarding that pervades the school. The overwhelming majority of parents are confident that the school takes good care of their children and keeps them safe. Leaders and governors ensure that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and the records kept are detailed and of high quality. You and your staff are very aware of the challenges faced by some families and you are vigilant in the way any issues that arise are pursued. The child and family coordinator plays a significant and successful role in liaising between school and home, including when there are concerns about a pupil’s attendance. Leaders work closely with outside agencies to ensure the strong welfare and safety provision made by the school is maintained. Pupils report that they feel very safe in school and know that there is always an adult to talk to if they have a worry or concern. They report that there is very little poor behaviour and that, typically, any disputes that do arise are sorted out quickly, often without the need for adult intervention. Pupils develop tolerant and respectful relationships with each other and adults that support their personal and academic development equally well. They are able to explain how to manage personal risk in a variety of situations including those they engage in outside school hours and when using the internet and mobile telephones. Inspection findings To be sure that the school remained good, one of the key inspection lines of enquiry was to check how well children progress in the early years. Together we found convincing evidence that children get off to a good start. Pupils develop positive and productive relationships with each other and adults that contribute well to the good and sometimes rapid progress they make from their varied starting points.
