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

Leaders’ aim to create a school where pupils ‘care, learn, aspire and succeed’ is reflected in the school’s positive and nurturing environment. Pupils are happy and safe. One pupil typically said, ‘I feel like this school is my home’. Leaders empower all pupils to be proud of their heritage and to value the school’s diverse community. This underpins the school’s curriculum. Pupils said that they enjoy being taught about different people and religions. Pupils know the high standards of behaviour expected and continually meet these standards. Pupils behave well in the playground and in classrooms. Leaders create an anti-bullying culture through assemblies and lessons. Adults sort out any instances of bullying if they occur. Leaders have high expectations for pupils. These expectations are shared by staff. Leaders regularly check that pupils are getting better in subjects. Pupils typically achieve well. However, leaders in some subjects have not ensured that the curriculum is well sequenced. This means that pupils are not doing as well as they could be in these subjects.

“Disappointed”

unlock
"> I'm very disappointed in the school. The teachers and other staff are mostly great, but I'm very unhappy with the management. Communication is poor, relationships between management and parents are poor. There used to be an active PTA but they seem to have all resigned due to issues with the school. The merger with Selsden school seems to have been the start of the problem (I'm not blaming Selsen here, I've never been to the school). Unlike the other reviewer, I was surprised it didn't get a worse Ofsted rating. Lots of children in one of my child's classes are really unhappy about coming to school and it isn't being addressed. I'm very sorry to give a bad review but it's how lots of parents feel right now.
“Amazing Heavers Farm Primary School”

"> Heavers Farm is a fantastic school. Despite not being rated outstanding by Ofsted. The warmth that you feel as soon as you walk through the doors from staff radiates to the children. The children there are happy, engaged in what they are learning and the teachers make learning fun. My children (currently in year 2 and year 4) have both flourished since arriving at Heavers. I moved them both from another school which is rated outstanding but my children did not enjoy going to school. Now my children love going to school, love their teachers and even love the school dinners. I cannot thank all of the staff at Heavers Farm enough. I look forward each day from the moment they wake in the morning getting ready for school to the evening when picking them up, to hear what they have learnt and seeing and hearing the enthusiasm they exude. I could not reccomend this school highly enough.
