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.

“An amazing school”

unlock
"> My daughter started Year 2 at George Carey Church of England Primary School and she is very happy with the new environment, class teacher and classmates. Every day she goes to school with a great desire and shares how lovely and interesting is to be at this new for her place. She feels comfortable, safe, respected and evaluated for her work. At our first meeting in the school we were welcomed by the Headteacher, Mr Harrison who gave us a tour of the school, presented us the site, the newly equipped and spacious classrooms, the enormous playground, stressed on the high achievements of the pupils for the last years and introduced us the class teacher. This is a new school, but extremely well organised and developed, the staff is also very supportive and kind. For the smooth start in the school the children are offered a taster day which is very helpful for the initial adaptation to the new environment. Our class teacher Ms Simeron is a sunny, polite and very dedicated person to her work, she treats the children with care, love and creates positive atmosphere in the class. When she first met us, she showed us the classroom, explained in detail what they study in Maths, English, Science and talked about the school daily routines which was essential for me to know how to support the educational process. Ms Simeron supports greatly the settling of my daughter in the class, accepts her so warmly at this very beginning which made the child feels comfortable and welcomed by all classmates. It is very important for us to have a good start at the new place. We are very pleased and happy to have such a lovely teacher as Ms Simeron. In a few weeks later, we were invited to a class assembly where the Headteacher Mr Harrison personally rewards the pupils for their successes. Amazing organisation and personal commitment to the pupils, he is interested in their achievements and getting feedback from the teachers. He deals easily with the children and adores a lot the communication with pupils which makes them feel respected, rewarded and proud of their efforts and work. He is a very highly professional person who is fully dedicated to his work, teachers, pupils, parents and all the school; creates this excellent environment at the place where the children enjoy all the moments spend in school. I strongly recommend George Carey Church of England Primary School as one of the best schools to all parents and children.
