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. Since that inspection, there have been significant changes to the leadership team, including your appointment in 2014. You quickly established an aspirational culture for all and prioritised improving the quality of teaching and learning in all classes. Leaders and governors share your high aspirations for pupils. You have worked together to create a school action plan designed to bring about further improvements. The pupils enjoy coming to school and are rarely absent. They are proud of the school and their achievements. You have created a purposeful climate of learning around the school, which enables pupils to grow in confidence and resilience. The Year 6 pupils I spoke with told me that they are looking forward to secondary school because their teachers have helped them prepare for the new challenges ahead. Pupils’ attainment has been consistently in line with national averages. You have identified that you want to improve the progress which pupils make by the end of key stage 2. You have revised the curriculum, so that pupils can regularly apply their learning and deepen their knowledge, to address this. For example, pupils have lots of well-planned and meaningful opportunities to develop their problemsolving and reasoning skills in mathematics. You have ensured that this starts in the early years. We saw many examples of this together in pupils’ books. As a result, pupils have a better understanding of how to tackle and solve problems independently. Pupils are very clear about what they are learning in lessons. Leaders have introduced a new, whole-school approach to writing. Most pupils now have a clearer understanding of the features of different types of writing and how to plan and organise their work. Pupils’ writing is improving as a result. For example, a pupil in Year 3 was able to write his own opening to a Greek myth: ‘Macheus and his father Dachese lived on the Isle of Shamadeo and were sent away to Magaddio as a punishment in a barrel.’ You acknowledge that the proportion of pupils who attain the higher standards at the end of key stage 2 in writing and mathematics needs to improve. Leaders have provided additional support to help pupils achieve this. Current school data indicates that the proportion of pupils on track to achieve at the higher standard is at least in line with national expectations in all subjects this year. Safeguarding is effective. You are the designated safeguarding leader and you are supported in this role by two other senior leaders. You are all suitably trained and keep your knowledge current through regular online updates. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. Leaders and the governing body complete annual audits to check that safeguarding arrangements continue to be robust. A recent review of the school’s procedures and practices has resulted in further improvements to the care and protection of pupils. All statutory checks on staff are carried out and recorded carefully. All staff receive regular and appropriate training and have a good understanding of their responsibilities to ensure children’s safety and well-being. The files you showed me indicate that staff make prompt referrals when they have any concerns and that leaders are vigilant in following up with external agencies any further action needed. Pupils understand how to keep themselves safe. You have provided opportunities for them to learn about issues such as e-safety. You and your team know each pupil and their family well and this ensures prompt action should the need arise. The welfare officer provides effective early support for pupils and their families to ensure that problems do not escalate. Inspection findings You and the deputy headteacher joined the school in 2014. You were quick to strengthen leadership capacity by extending the senior leadership team. Leaders now have greater accountability for the areas which they oversee to support whole-school improvement. Consequently, staff are flourishing and pupils’ outcomes are improving.
