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

Greenvale is a vibrant and exciting place to learn. Pupils flourish as soon as they join the school. Staff enable pupils to succeed in many subjects and courses. They strive to provide the best possible education for all pupils. Pupils receive a high quality of care and are well prepared for wider society. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, enjoy a calm and harmonious atmosphere that exists at both sites of the school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, who have very positive attitudes and behaviour. Highly skilled staff support pupils with care and kindness. Pupils are taught to identify and manage their emotions. They learn about positive relationships and how to keep healthy in an age-appropriate way. Staff take the time to develop a deep understanding of each pupils’ individual needs and feelings. Bullying is rare, and leaders deal effectively with any cases that may occur. Pupils feel safe. They are extremely well prepared for adulthood. The extensive programme of activities and experiences that leaders have designed helps pupils to develop their selfbelief. This helps pupils to become confident, resilient and independent young people. This is evident in pupils’ excellent conduct throughout the school.
