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. Together with the deputy headteacher, you have created a culture based on high expectations for what pupils can achieve and for how well they will behave. All staff, parents and carers and pupils fully endorse your ambition. One parent commented that you and the staff team are, ‘supportive, passionate and genuinely committed to providing our children with the best education possible’. Pupils have entirely positive attitudes to learning. They listen carefully, cooperate well and work hard. Staff help pupils to develop resilience so that they can overcome challenges in their learning. Pupils understand that determination coupled with hard work helps them to tackle things that they would otherwise not be able to achieve. Their excellent behaviour extends outside the classroom to the playground and other areas of the school. Older pupils seize the many opportunities for taking responsibility, including for caring for the youngest children in the school. This is a very inclusive school, always striving to focus on the many strengths that all pupils have, so that all will have a positive view of themselves. This has a positive impact on their personal and social development. Pupils learn well and make good progress, especially in mathematics and reading, because teachers plan lessons based on accurate assessments of pupils’ learning. Leaders have ensured that staff have had the right training to provide them with a greater depth of subject knowledge. Pupils say that teachers always have very high expectations for them. In 2017, all pupils achieved the expected standard in mathematics at the end of key stage 2 and the proportion of pupils achieving this standard in reading was well above the national average. Disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress. However, you acknowledge that pupils do not achieve as well in writing as in these other two subjects. Children get off to a good start in the early years, and most achieve a good level of development, so that they are ready to move into Year 1. However, leaders recognise that not enough children reach the higher standards by the end of their Reception Year. Parents are wholly positive about the school. All agree that pupils are safe and happy – the overwhelming majority of parents would recommend the school. They particularly value the nurturing, caring, Christian ethos that permeates the school and the way that staff know all the pupils, take good care of them and help them to learn well. Many single out your leadership for special comment. One expressed this view when they said, ‘Mr King provides exceptional leadership and his calm and positive attitude is felt throughout the school environment.’ Governors bring a wealth of skills and experience to their work. They know the school in detail because they use a range of sources of information when forming their view, including their own visits to the school. They provide the right balance of support and challenge for leaders, and share their high expectations and ambition. You have successfully addressed the areas for improvement from the previous inspection. Teachers plan lessons with a clear and accurate assessment of what pupils have learned before. Staff check how well pupils are doing during lessons and adapt tasks or move pupils on when they are ready. Teachers manage the challenge of split-age classes skilfully and are well supported in this by well-trained teaching assistants. Inspectors also asked you to develop the role of middle leaders to ensure they regularly check the impact of their work to improve the quality of teaching. Middle leaders now play an important role in driving improvements in the school, including in writing. They receive relevant, up-to-date training to undertake their roles effectively and have a clear view of the strengths and areas of improvement for their subjects. Safeguarding is effective. You have established a strong safeguarding culture in the school and all staff understand their responsibility to take care of pupils. Policies, procedures and protocols are all fit for purpose. You ensure that the right checks are made on people before they can work in the school. Staff are trained regularly and all have read the most recent guidance on how to keep pupils safe. Senior leaders keep staff up to date with any important new information about safeguarding matters. Governors understand their safeguarding responsibilities well and make regular checks to be confident that pupils in the school are safe.
