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 are happy at this warm and welcoming school. They speak very positively about Manor Junior; they are proud to be a part of it. Staff develop caring and respectful relationships with pupils. These relationships are supported by the school’s strong, inclusive ethos. Staff set high expectations and want all pupils to do well. Teachers ensure that learning is practical and motivational. For example, staff and pupils have recently built a school pond for science experiments in the school grounds. Pupils’ experiences are enriched by a wide range of extra-curricular clubs. Pupils are encouraged to take on extra responsibilities, for example as ‘cyber ambassadors’, who help with online safety, and as ‘sports leaders’, who are proud to organise inter-house competitions. Pupils say that behaviour is good. They rise to the standards set out in the ‘ladder’ behaviour system. Pupils know that when bullying happens it will be sorted out quickly. When fallings out occur, they say that adults deal with them fairly. Parents and carers are positive about the school and value the pastoral support it provides. One parent said: ‘This is an excellent school with terrific and caring teachers and support staff.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Leaders want the very best for pupils and staff. Staff appreciate the care that the leaders have for their workload and well-being. They feel valued and supported – they enjoy working at Manor Junior. The development of reading has been a priority for the school. Pupils achieve well. Adults check the progress pupils make and ensure teaching provides pupils with the skills they need to read fluently. Leaders have invested in new books to ensure the books pupils read match their ability. Where pupils are at risk of falling behind, support is in place to help them catch up quickly. Pupils enjoy the stories that their teachers read to them. These books are well selected and are often linked to learning in other subjects. After disappointing outcomes in writing last year, leaders have put in place actions to ensure that this aspect of the school’s work improves. Leaders have ensured the sequencing of skills and knowledge is clear to all. A new spelling scheme is being used effectively. Pupils are given exciting topics to write about and vocabulary is a focus. The school celebrates quality writing through a wide range of displayed work. Staff know they have more to do to ensure the writing curriculum gives more opportunities for the most able pupils to achieve at the higher standard. In other subjects, skills and knowledge have also been carefully mapped out. This information is used by staff to develop topics that engage pupils. In some subjects, such as science, this is done well. Pupils use previous learning to help them understand new information. Teachers check pupils’ progress through the curriculum. Investigative skills have been a focus. For example, in Year 4 science, pupils plan experiments to work out the best material for protecting an egg when falling from a height. They successfully used their knowledge to design a fair test. Because learning is made interesting, behaviour is positive and pupils achieve well. In some other subjects, such as design and technology, implementation is not as well organised. Leaders are addressing this to ensure that pupils build on their knowledge and remember more across all subjects. Teachers skilfully adapt the learning for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They access the same curriculum as everyone else. Leaders ensure support is well planned and pupils progress well. The school invests in a speech and language therapist to ensure pupils get timely input in this area. Parents are positive about the provision and say the school gives their children the help they need to succeed. Pupils’ education goes beyond curriculum subjects. They have many opportunities to undertake responsibilities, such as being student councillors and house captains. A high number of pupils embrace the many clubs on offer, such as squash, history detectives and cookery.
