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

Holy Family is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Almost all pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups who attend the school is lower than average and only a small proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils with SEND is around the national average. The proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care (EHC) plan is around the national average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for pupil premium funding is considerably lower than the national average. There is one Reception class. Children attend full time. Inspection report: Holy Family Catholic Primary School, 13–14 November 2018 Page 8 of 10 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed teaching, learning and assessment in all classes. Some observations were conducted jointly with the headteacher. Inspectors scrutinised pupils’ written work in subjects across the curriculum. Inspectors looked at a range of documentation, including the school’s self-evaluation, the improvement plan, attendance information and safeguarding records. Inspectors held meetings with the headteacher and the deputy headteacher, who is also the SEN leader. Inspectors also met with three members of staff to discuss subject leadership. The lead inspector met with members of the governing body, including the chair of governors, and a representative of the local authority. He also met with a representative from the Liverpool Archdiocese. Inspectors observed pupils’ conduct during breaks and lunchtimes. One inspector met with groups of pupils to listen to them read and discuss behaviour and other aspects of school life. Inspectors also spoke with many other pupils informally. All three inspectors met with parents at the start of the second day of this inspection. They also took account of the 62 responses to Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire.
