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

Pupils thrive in this nurturing school. Leaders and staff know the pupils exceptionally well. Consequently, pupils are set ambitious learning goals. Pupils achieve well. The relationships between pupils and adults are excellent. Staff consistently ask pupils to make choices. Staff skilfully use a range of communication methods to enable the pupils to express their views. Pupils’ views are celebrated and valued. All parents and carers who answered the Ofsted Parent View survey and who spoke with inspectors said that their child was happy at school. One parent said, ‘The school feels like a family.’ Parents are very positive about the communication between school and home. Staff write about pupils’ learning in the home-school books. In addition, staff upload photographs and commentary of pupils’ learning to an app. This enables parents to know what their child has learned. This is particularly appreciated by parents whose children are non-verbal. Leaders and staff work closely with a range of professionals from health, social care and the local authority. This enables the pupils to receive the right support to meet their medical and well-being needs. Pupils behave well. Tailored support is provided to pupils who require further help to enable them to regulate their behaviours.
