This pupil heat map shows where pupils currently attending the school live.
The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

Source: All attending pupils National School Census Data, ONS

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

Flora Gardens is a joyful place to learn. Pupils are exceptionally polite and welcoming. They are proud of their school. The highly respectful relationships between staff and pupils help to create a convivial atmosphere. Pupils have a clear understanding of what constitutes bullying. They insist that there is no bullying here because everyone is kind. Comments from pupils such as, ‘the value of respect means we just wouldn’t do it,’ are typical. Staff are quick to sort out any friendship issues if they happen. The school’s values underpin leaders’ approach to behaviour. Staff understand and apply the behaviour system. For example, they reward pupils with house points. Classroom routines are well established. Right from early years, children show a high level of interest in their learning. Playtimes are harmonious. Pupils have fun with the learning that staff plan for them. Leaders and governors are ambitious for all pupils to excel. The curriculum that leaders have designed enables all pupils to learn a range of subjects successfully. Leaders offer a wide range of clubs, from quidditch to drama and circus skills to ecoclub. There is something for everyone, and pupils take part in these activities with enthusiasm.

ABOUT US

Flora Gardens is a Good School with Outstanding Features!

Early Years provision

“The Nursery and Reception classes give the children a nurturing and caring start to their schooling.”

“The early years provision is well led.”

“The quality of teaching is consistently good. Adults throughout the early years provision give children activities that promote their skills well. For example, in one very well-planned task, children in the Reception class were shown a film of an ‘alien’ that had purportedly visited their classroom at night. Children were excited by the activity, and this stimulated them to write at a high level.”

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment

“Teaching is consistently good and results in good outcomes for pupils.”

“Pupils who read aloud to an inspector showed that they can master unfamiliar words by using effective phonics skills. Pupils are able to read with expression and can talk about books they enjoy reading.”

“Adults’ feedback, both written and oral, enables pupils to learn well.”

Outcomes for Pupils

“Outcomes are good because pupils throughout the school make good progress in their learning.”

“Pupils’ outcomes have been on a rising trend. Published information about pupils’ performance shows that the progress of Year 6 pupils in reading, writing and mathematics was weak in 2015, predating the appointment of the new leadership team…”

“Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities receive the right support for their needs, and make progress in line with others.”

Leadership and Management

“The headteacher, ably supported by his senior leadership team, has improved all areas of the school’s work since the previous inspection.”

“Leaders have acted swiftly to tackle the actions for improvement identified in the previous inspection report. They rightly prioritised raising the quality of teaching.”

“Leaders and governors make wise use of the additional government funding for disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.”

“Staff show, in their responses to the Ofsted online survey, that they back their leaders strongly. Almost all of those who worked at the school at the time of the previous inspection say that the school has improved a great deal. A typical comment from one member of staff is, ‘Staff feel supported and listened to. Everyone really does work as a team.’ “

Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare

“Pupils are confident, extremely polite and thoughtful towards others. Many pupils enquired whether the inspectors were enjoying their visit, and they were really interested in holding a dialogue with their visitors.”

“Pupils told inspectors that they understand the concept of bullying and are therefore sure that there is no bullying at their school. Young children get on extremely well with older pupils.”

“The school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is outstanding.”

“The behaviour of pupils is outstanding.”
