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.

Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

School Description

Pupils are engaged in lessons. The school has a subject-based curriculum. Pupils move around school to different subjects. Teachers prepare interesting lessons and pupils achieve well. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. They say that their children make good progress. Staff and pupils get on well together. Staff have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. A whole-school reward programme supports this. Pupils work well alongside each other. Pupils told us that they like school. They said that they feel safe. If they are worried about anything, they know that they can talk to staff. Staff deal with any incidents effectively, including any rare occurrence of bullying. Leaders provide a wide range of learning opportunities for pupils. Pupils enjoy taking part in lunchtime clubs which include dancing, singing, Spanish, cricket, speaking up, film, chess, tennis, library, fitness and football. Pupils take part in athletic activities away from school. Pupils have entered a Kent schools cross-country event. Leaders work with Kent County Cricket Club and Bromley Football Club to arrange activities. Every year there is a residential trip to Wales. This involves climbing Snowdon, which gives the pupils a big sense of achievement.
