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 at Moor House School and College are happy, confident and eager to learn. They fully appreciate how well they are helped to achieve their full potential. Highly skilled staff enable pupils to realise that they can overcome their barriers to learning. Pupils soon realise that success is available for them. They just have to work hard, which they really do. Pupils are encouraged to aim high. Their motivation to achieve their chosen careers propels them to do as well as possible in exams. Consequently, pupils leave school and college with meaningful accreditations and are exceptionally well prepared for their future lives. Pupils behave extremely well. They are friendly, respectful and remarkably supportive of each other. The school and college are welcoming, studious environments in which pupils develop into self-assured young adults. As one parent told us, ‘Our child’s confidence, happiness and self-esteem have grown immeasurably and their progress towards academic qualifications has far surpassed any expectations we had on them joining the school.’ The impressive, collaborative, multidisciplinary approach ensures pupils make outstanding progress with their speech and language. Staff know and understand pupils exceptionally well. They are united in their desire to equip pupils to be as independent and successful as possible in adult life.
