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

Exmouth Community school is a large, split-site school. Pupils move across the whole site for their lessons. At these times, most pupils conduct themselves well. Pupils feel safe in school. However, a few pupils do not behave appropriately at these times. The school has raised the expectations for pupils. They have changed structures to support this. Pupils say this is starting to have a positive effect. Most pupils understand and respect the changes. When pupils have a concern, they know who they can speak to. The school provides different ways for pupils to report their concerns, including an online ‘worry’ button. Some pupils feel other pupils are not always respectful towards one another. When pupils report bullying or inappropriate language, the school follows this up. Pupils participate in a broad range of extra-curricular activities. The school is encouraging more pupils to take up opportunities. This includes many sports, the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and a range of performance and orchestral groups. The house band meet weekly to perform. Pupils relished their involvement in a recent school production of ‘Matilda’. The school has recently enhanced the leadership roles it offers to pupils. Sixth-form students take roles as student ambassadors and contribute to the wider school community.

“Great school”

unlock
"> Very well presented school. The pupils themselves are very well spoken and polite. Whenever I ask a question, I get honest polite answers. For example, I asked: "What do you like about this school?" A student replied: "This school is amazing! If I get stuck, I can get all the help I need from my teachers." My two children joined year seven, and managed to not only successfully pass their exams, they also got through their A levels. I would recommend this school.

"> I went to this school and, since becoming an academy, it appears that parents have no say in anything. At the last sports day, I was told there was only two porta-loos for the 500 children there. Upon contacting the headmaster, he didn't seem to take my concerns seriously and this was incredibly disappointing. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this school.
