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

For many pupils and families, Ling Bob Junior, Infant and Nursery School is more than a school, it is part of the heart and soul of the community. Staff know their pupils and community well. They are supportive and help pupils in a variety of ways when they find aspects of life difficult. Pupils are keen to do well in lessons. Staff celebrate the demonstration of positive behaviours by pupils. Pupils are respectful and well-behaved. They understand the expectations that are part of being pupils at ‘Ling Bob’. Playtimes and lunchtimes are calm. Pupils talk, play and have fun together. Pupils feel very well supported by staff and know that there is someone close by if they need a chat and help. Bullying is rare and, if it does happen, staff deal with it swiftly. Leaders delve deeply into any pupil behaviour issues that arise so that they offer appropriate support to those involved. Pupils enjoy the additional activities that are on offer. Leaders encourage pupils to try the clubs that are available. As a result, the clubs are well attended. Pupils describe with excitement the food-tasting club, the sporting activities and the educational visits they have been on.

“Happy parent”

"> I have 4 children at this school, and two are high achievers, 1 who is struggling to meet the national average and 1 in the nursery class. I am a very satisfied parent of pupils at this school. I feel they cater and listen to my concerns and go above and beyond for every pupil. They have extended school learning for those high achievers as well as those who are not achieving. I honestly feel my children are int the best infant school in the area.
