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. Together, leaders, governors and staff have created a haven where pupils thrive. You embrace the school’s Christian values wholeheartedly. As a result, staff and pupils model these values in all aspects of their school lives. Pupils liken the school community to ‘one big, happy family’. Pupils enjoy school. They appreciate the considerable leadership opportunities the school offers. These include being a member of the student council and the ethos council. Following a whole-school focus on how to stay healthy, you appointed health and sport ambassadors. Through this role, pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 promote the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle. With enthusiasm, they lead a joyful exercise routine for younger pupils each morning. This activity ensures that pupils are energised for the day ahead. Pupils feel that they have a voice. They explained to me how leaders and staff listen to and consider their views. Pupils take seriously the opportunity to make the school even better. For example, the introduction of a box in each classroom was the result of a proposal made by the student council. The aim of this initiative is to provide all pupils with another way of expressing any concerns that they may have. Parents and carers are equally positive about the warm and welcoming community you have created. A parent described the school as ‘happy, friendly and positive’. This is typical of parents’ responses. All the parents who responded to Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View, would recommend the school to another parent. They spoke positively about the excellent care that ‘approachable staff’ provide. The pastoral support and guidance offered to pupils and their families are, without a doubt, a forte of the staff at the school. Staff are exceptionally proud to be part of the school’s community. They explained to me that leaders provide them with opportunities to progress in their careers. You have created effective partnerships with other local schools. This allows staff to access training that supports the development of their teaching. As a result, the quality of teaching is going from strength to strength, and pupils make good progress. Staff are passionate about their roles. They are highly motivated and committed to securing the best outcomes for pupils. Governors have an accurate and detailed understanding of the school’s strengths and priorities. They bring skills to their roles from a variety of sectors, some outside of education. This allows them to ask pertinent questions of leaders. The governors also share your commitment to ensuring that a strong Christian ethos permeates every aspect of school life. You have an incisive view of what aspects of the school require refinement. You provide clear direction for staff. This ensures that they are well equipped to remedy any relative weaknesses. For example, you have successfully addressed the areas that inspectors identified at the previous inspection. Staff check on pupils’ learning as a matter of routine, and teachers carefully monitor pupils’ progress. As a result, staff can provide help and support to those pupils who fall behind. This allows these pupils to make fast progress and catch up with others. These improvements in teaching have had a particularly positive effect on pupils’ progress in both reading and mathematics. You have worked with determination to improve the level of challenge in mathematics, particularly for the most able pupils. You have ensured that the teaching of mathematics is consistently strong across all year groups. Staff receive appropriate training and you have invested in resources to allow pupils to apply their mathematical knowledge. As a result, pupils have more opportunities to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills. You showed me examples of how pupils apply their mathematical skills in science, geography and history. As a result, all pupils, particularly the most able, make much stronger progress in mathematics. Your plans to improve the school further are sharp and precise. For example, you are keen to ensure that the proportion of pupils working above the expected standard in their writing at key stage 2 improves. You are also taking the necessary action to increase the proportion of children who achieve a good level of development in the early years.
