The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

Source: All attending pupils National School Census Data, ONS

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 new headteacher has made impressive changes at Howden Junior School. Pupils think these changes have made it a better place to learn and all pupils can do well now. Teachers expect pupils to do their best. Behaviour has got better. Pupils want to learn. They promote the right to be safe, the right to learn and the right to be valued. Pupils look forward to special Friday lunch and enjoy it when their class achieves the lunchtime award. Pupils say that cyber-bullying has sometimes happened after school. They learn about acceptable behaviour online. They say that they understand what to do if cyber-bullying happens. There is a wide range of after-school clubs that many pupils attend. Pupils take part in local art and music events. This makes the school a big part of the community. Pupils know how to stay safe when they learn how to cross the road, ride a bicycle or use the internet. Parents and carers support the new headteacher and like the changes he has made. They say that their children learn more now and behave well. Teachers go out of their way to help their children to learn. Parents say, ‘there is a real buzz about the place.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Learning to read is important in this school. The leader for reading has made considerable changes to the reading curriculum since the previous inspection. Some pupils are still learning to decode words. They have lessons to help them read fluently with books that match the sounds they know. Teachers introduce new sounds that pupils repeat and write in their workbooks. Everyone loves the new library. There is a broad range of books from which pupils can choose. These books interest and motivate pupils to read more. A diverse range of books is used in daily reading lessons. In these lessons, teachers explain how to answer questions about the texts well. A system for teaching mathematics is in place. The next steps pupils need to take across each year group are set out. Leaders view pupils’ learning of mathematical vocabulary as essential. Pupils use practical resources and mental arithmetic to support them in becoming competent mathematicians. Leaders have changed the way in which teachers deliver mathematics lessons. The new way of working is not yet embedded. Teachers do not always teach mathematics in a correctly sequenced order. They repeat too much of what pupils already know, so pupils are not always challenged. Leaders need to make sure that mathematics lessons challenge pupils appropriately.
