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

Your strong leadership has ensured that Green Park has continued to improve since its last inspection. You lead the school with impressive clarity and drive. You have the full support of your hard-working and dedicated staff. They share your determination to take the school from strength to strength. Virtually every member of staff who responded to the survey said that they are proud to work at the school. The care shown to pupils, both by adults and by other pupils, shines out as a strength of the school. Pupils say that they love coming to Green Park. They enjoy their learning across the curriculum, although many pupils thought that a few subjects were occasionally ‘too easy’. They responded to a question about their favourite subjects with a lively debate about the merits of science, art, physical education (PE), singing, English and mathematics. Importantly, every pupil I spoke to said that they feel safe at school. For example, they appreciate the new security system ‘because no one can get in or out’. Pupils agree that behaviour at school is good. They say that if ever they have a disagreement or fall out with their friends, teachers and other pupils are there to help them. Pupils think that bullying rarely happens and that Green Park is ‘a kind school where everyone looks after each other’. They state that teachers always listen to what they have to say and are always there to help them when needed. The vast majority of parents and carers are strongly appreciative of the school. Most of those who completed Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, would recommend the school to others. Many expressed their delight in how happy and confident their children are. One comment, typical of many, was: ‘My child’s selfesteem and confidence have blossomed under the care of a series of fantastic teachers.’ However, a few parents thought that their children could be given more challenge in their learning across a range of subjects. The school has continued to improve since the last inspection. You have introduced a new curriculum to provide a greater level of challenge. You have also introduced strong systems for marking and feedback. As a result, pupils receive consistently high standards of teaching across the school and know how to improve their work. Most current pupils are achieving well. You monitor teaching and learning effectively and ensure that senior leaders and teachers work closely together to improve pupils’ outcomes. For instance, the small number of disadvantaged pupils are supported ably through pastoral care and additional support in the classroom. As a result, they make good progress from their starting points. Middle leaders are rightly focusing on improving pupils’ attainment in reading and mathematics. However, they are not yet having a strong enough impact on pupils’ outcomes across the wider curriculum. There is not enough focus on the provision for the most able pupils so that they are inspired to learn and make even better progress, particularly in mathematics. Safeguarding is effective. You have created a strong safeguarding culture that permeates the school. When employing new staff, you ensure that stringent checks are made to ensure their suitability to work with children. This information is recorded accurately on the school’s single central record. All safeguarding systems meet statutory guidance. You and other leaders ensure that there is a strong culture of safeguarding. All staff, including the designated safeguarding leads, are trained appropriately to be able to protect children from harm. As a result, staff are vigilant and know what to do in response to a wide range of child-protection situations. You are tenacious on behalf of the children. For example, records and emails show how you challenge other professional agencies and their recommendations, to be sure that children have their needs met. Pupils know how to manage risks to keep themselves safe. For example, older pupils shared how important it was to protect their identity when using social media. They know they have to keep their online passwords secret and that if they see something on the internet that worries them, they must tell a trusted adult immediately. Inspection findings During the inspection, we focused on how effectively leaders ensure that younger pupils achieve well in phonics. We also evaluated leaders’ actions to raise standards in reading and mathematics for pupils in key stage 2. Finally, we scrutinised your work to ensure that more children are challenged to achieve at the highest standards in key stage 2 across the curriculum.
