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. Pupils progress well from their starting points. They enjoy lessons. Pupils learn much from wider activities such as gardening, guitar playing and gymnastics. They gain a good understanding of the school’s values of courtesy, kindness and cooperation. Staff and leaders promote pupils’ understanding of the diverse world of modern Britain. For example, they celebrate Black History Month and teach pupils about the rich geometry and patterns in Islamic art. The school remains popular with members of the local community. The numbers of pupils attending the school have grown steadily over recent years. Parents and carers are pleased that you know each child and family. They say that you care about each child’s learning and their experience of success. Parents say that you listen to their views and respond quickly to any concerns. During the inspection, I was impressed when parents told me that staff enjoy their jobs. I agree, because staff told me that morale is high. Teachers and teaching assistants have much respect for your firm but gentle leadership of the school. They gain from their training and development opportunities. They value the support and advice they receive from senior leaders about how to improve their teaching. At the previous inspection, inspectors recommended that staff move the most able pupils on quickly to harder work in lessons, where appropriate. Leaders and staff focus carefully now on this aspect of teaching. Pupils find their learning much more challenging and enjoyable across subjects. Staff assess pupils more thoroughly and respond more fully when pupils grasp new learning speedily. Pupils increasingly complete work to deepen their understanding. You are not complacent about the recent improvements in teaching and in the skills of the most able pupils. We discussed your expectation that teachers should give even more challenge for pupils’ learning, particularly in Year 6. Inspectors also asked leaders to improve how they track and analyse the learning of groups of pupils in different subjects. Your response to this issue faltered at first because new school arrangements did not give you the information that you required. You now address this successfully through your extensive and ongoing revision of the school’s assessment and tracking systems. Staff use much better information about pupils’ learning to adapt their teaching. Leaders and governors now review and debate aspects of pupils’ performance with much more precision than in the past. Staff and leaders take many successful steps to improve pupils’ reading skills in key stage 1. These efforts are leading to many more pupils becoming skilled readers. Even so, not enough pupils in Year 1 can use phonics to read more complex words. Leaders and governors need to give this priority even sharper focus to make sure that all pupils develop the skills they need. In addition, some staff do not always pick up on the mistakes pupils make in their phonics activities, to help them improve. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders make sure that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. The headteacher is a designated leader for safeguarding. He shares oversight of arrangements with a highly trained deputy designated person. She has dedicated time to support pupils, teachers and teaching assistants. Staff and leaders are available regularly to speak to parents and pupils. Pupils use boxes placed around the school to raise any anxieties they have. Leaders check the boxes routinely and respond to any issues. At the start of the school day, teaching assistants oversee pupils’ arrival at school carefully and chat with pupils. Staff challenge adults they do not recognise who wish to enter other parts of the school site from the playground. Office staff check the credentials of all formal visitors in detail. Staff know about local and national safeguarding issues because leaders give them regular training. Leaders keep detailed records of any concerns about pupils. Their referrals of concerns to other agencies are prompt and appropriate. The school office manager reviews frequently and precisely all school information about the checks on staff suitability to work with pupils. Arrangements to record information about staff are first rate. All relevant changes to school records of staff are checked regularly by senior leaders. Governors are trained in safeguarding and make appropriate checks on the work of the school. However, governors need to check more thoroughly; leaders have given them more information to ensure that this happens.
