The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

Source: All attending pupils National School Census Data, ONS

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 previous inspection. Since the last inspection of the predecessor school, there has been considerable turbulence. The school opened as an academy in April 2016. Several members of the board of trustees – including the previous chair – and some governors resigned following the school’s opening. Over the past five terms, eight members of the teaching staff have taken maternity leave. Senior leaders have worked hard to minimise the impact of this turbulence. Members, trustees and governors have been distracted by the academisation of the school. Valuable time has been taken up by senior leaders in dealing with issues which do not directly relate to the school’s core business. However, trustees, governors and leaders have taken decisive actions that have put the school back on track. Leaders and managers have an accurate view of the strengths and weaknesses of the school. They have taken urgent and effective action to address the dip in the school’s performance. Current pupils are making stronger progress, particularly in reading and mathematics. As a result, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is reflected in pupils’ high rates of attendance, commendable behaviour and positive attitudes to learning. This is a school where pupils’ achievements are celebrated. The school’s annual ‘festival on the field’, the art exhibition and the displays around school of pupils’ work, all showcase the best of what pupils at Marlborough have to offer. Children get on well together. They are quick to lend a hand when classmates need help. They are keen to please their teachers. Pupils were keen to tell me about the wonderful trips, visits and activities they have taken part in, for example raft-building at Conwy, toasting marshmallows over a campfire and playing a giant game of tag on the school field. Staff are proud to work at the school and have confidence in their leaders and managers. They share your vision for the school’s future. Staff work exceptionally well together as a team. Staff are keen to help each other, making sure that their different experience and expertise benefit their colleagues. In particular, this helps teachers in the early days of their career, as well as new staff who join the school. The vast majority of parents and carers are delighted with the quality of education offered by the school. They are confident that children are well cared for and safe. Parents feel able to talk to teachers if they have any worries or concerns. This parent’s comment was typical of those received during the inspection: ‘We are thrilled to be part of Marlborough Primary School – a school which does not rest but strives for excellence in every aspect of a child’s life and education.’ Since the last inspection of the predecessor school, you have taken effective action to address the areas for improvement identified by inspectors. Comprehensive training and support ensure that the quality of teaching is at least consistently good across the school now in reading, writing and mathematics. The improvements you have made to teaching mean that almost all gaps in pupils’ knowledge have been eliminated. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Leaders carry out rigorous pre-employment checks to assure themselves that staff are suitable to work with pupils. All staff are up to date with their safeguarding training. Staff understand their responsibilities well and keep a close eye on all pupils. Any concerns are followed up assiduously by the designated safeguarding leads. The safeguarding leads personally check on how well identified pupils are getting on day to day so that they can pre-empt any emerging issues. These colleagues work closely with other agencies to put in place support for those pupils and their families who need it most. Leaders have strengthened support to pupils eligible for the pupil premium by appointing a key worker for every disadvantaged pupil. These members of staff know their allocated pupil well. Key workers ensure that these pupils get the additional help and support they need by acting as their advocates. Although these are early days, this approach is already having a positive impact on some of the school’s most vulnerable pupils.
