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

You and your leadership team have maintained the good quality of education provided by the school since the last inspection in 2012. Your actions to strengthen the senior leadership team through the appointment of a new deputy headteacher and an early years leader have been effective in enhancing the capacity for further improvement. Improvements have been made with regard to the two areas identified for development in May 2012. Continued improvements to the quality of outdoor learning spaces have been brought about by the dynamic leadership of your newly appointed early years leader. This means that children in the Nursery and the Reception classes have a stimulating, interesting and safe environment in which to develop their knowledge and skills. Improvements to the way in which you track the progress and attainment of pupils in all curriculum subjects, in addition to English and mathematics, ensure that you and your staff have a clear and accurate picture of pupils’ achievement. The pride you have in the school is shared by staff and governors. A caring ethos is evident; you aim to nurture the development of all pupils. Parents with whom I spoke and those who completed the online questionnaire have overwhelming praise for the school for its level of care and the impact it has on their children’s learning. One parent stated that reports sent home show that teachers know children as well as they do themselves, while another was keen to praise the individual support put in place through the pupil premium grant that had helped their child succeed.
