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 school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. They are encouraged to ‘be your best you’ at all times. Pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans are central to realising this. The calm and purposeful atmosphere supports pupils’ learning effectively. They work hard, behave well and are ambitious for the future. Pupils are valued as unique individuals and are proud to be part of this vibrant and nurturing school. There is a tangible sense of belonging here. Each morning, pupils are greeted warmly by staff, who know them well. Pupils feel safe because of the strong and trusting relationships staff form with them. Consequently, pupils truly flourish in all areas of their learning. Pupils are kind, empathetic and respectful towards each other. Breaktimes are well-ordered and sociable occasions. Pupils mix happily together, playing football, using the outdoor gym equipment or catching up with their friends. They enjoy the extra opportunities, trips and visits they experience. Pupils take part enthusiastically in events such as activities weeks, sports day and outings to the local area. They also relish the ‘life skills programme’. Pupils value how visits to the local shops help them to learn about finance and develop their independence.
