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 leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You demonstrate a passion and determination to provide the best for every pupil and you are committed to improving the school. You work very closely with the deputy headteacher and, through your shared vision and hard work, a positive learning culture and wonderful learning environment have been established both inside and outside of the school. Pupils love coming to school and this is reflected in high attendance and low persistent absence. The outdoor area of the school has been adapted in so many ways and pupils, parents and carers share the view that it is amazing. A wildlife area has been established in addition to an allotment where the pupils raise poultry and grow vegetables. A cycle track around the school field has been laid and the school has a set of mountain bikes, so all pupils can use it as part of the physical education curriculum. In addition, an old bungalow on the site has been transformed into a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) centre. All the pupils I spoke to were incredibly positive about the school. As one pupil told me, ‘This is a great school and we have so much fun!’ When I asked pupils what they like most about the school, they were eager to describe the sense of community, the equality, politeness, opportunities, clubs, visits and residential trips. Pupils are fully involved in the life of the school. Years 5 and 6 pupils talked with a sense of pride about their roles as junior leaders and how they carry out jobs to assist the whole school community. It is clear that the school council, class councils and junior leaders play very important roles in the shaping of their school. The inclusive ethos of the school shines through. Pupils with profound special educational needs and/or disabilities receive excellent support from teaching assistants. Those I observed in Nursery and Reception classes clearly love their learning experiences. One key stage 2 pupil was keen to tell me that ‘equality’ and ‘teamwork’ are the key to the school’s success and I would concur with this. In the lessons that I visited, pupils worked extremely well in pairs and groups. Parents are highly supportive of the school and this is evident in the number of positive responses to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View. As one parent commented: ‘My son adores school. The teachers, teaching assistants and all other staff are the heart of this school. My son recalls all of his lessons with great detail and enthusiasm. This tells us how much he enjoys being part of Kippax North. The children are always happy, polite and well mannered in this school.’ These views were reinforced by all the parents who I spoke with informally at the beginning of the day. Kippax North Connections, the parent teacher association, plays an important role in the school and it has done much to support your plans for the outdoor learning environment. Members of staff who talked to me, and those who responded to Ofsted’s online staff survey, said that they are proud to work in the school. They respect and value your leadership qualities and almost all say that the school has improved since the last inspection. Your self-evaluation summary paints an accurate picture of the school and the school development plan describes how you will secure further developments. Pupils achieve well throughout the school. At the end of key stage 1, in 2018, results were in line with national figures in reading, writing and mathematics. Most children in Reception in 2018 achieved a good level of development. The proportion of pupils meeting the standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check has risen steadily in the last three years and is now well above the national average. Year 6 pupils achieve well, although in 2018, attainment at the end of key stage 2 in reading, mathematics and English grammar dipped considerably from the previous year. You explained that this was partly because a number of pupils with learning and behaviour issues joined the school at the end of Year 5 in 2017 and their results were below the national average. However, there is still work to be done to raise attainment and progress in reading and to challenge the most able pupils in mathematics. Safeguarding is effective. As the designated safeguarding leader, you have ensured that all the necessary safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and that all records are of high quality and meticulously kept. The school business manager ensures that all checks for the recruitment of staff are in place. Safeguarding training is treated as a priority and, during the past year, all staff and most governors have attended courses on child protection.
