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, friendly and respectful. There is a strong community feeling within the school and pupils from all backgrounds and abilities are welcomed with open arms. Pupils told inspectors that they ‘love school’ and ‘do not want to go home at the end of the day’. Pupils feel safe at school and are taught how to stay safe outside of school. They know about different types of bullying and how to deal with it. For example, if they receive an unkind text or message, they know to ‘zip it, report it, block it and delete it’. Leaders quickly deal with any incidents that occur. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and behave well in lessons. They understand and follow the school’s behaviour policy. Relationships between staff and pupils, and between pupils themselves, are positive. Disruption in lessons is rare. Leaders want the absolute best for all pupils. High expectations are the order of the day. All adults provide strong encouragement and support. In return, pupils try their best and work hard to make their teachers proud. Pupils, staff and parents are adamant that the school has improved significantly. A typical staff comment was ‘This is the best it’s ever been.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? The school has been transformed under the headteacher’s effective leadership. School leaders and trust members have been relentless in their quest to get the school back on track. Their hard work and determination have paid off. They have a clear vision and high ambition for the school that staff share and understand. Leaders have devised an ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum, including in the early years. They have thought carefully about what they want pupils to learn and in what order. Pupils achieve particularly well in English, mathematics and science as these subjects are well established. Other subjects are clearly structured but need more time to become as well-embedded. Leaders and staff are reviewing where the curriculum needs adjustment to close gaps in pupils’ knowledge. They are also devising systems to assess pupils’ abilities in all subjects, but this is at an early stage of development. Staff appreciate the training and guidance they receive. Support from trust and subject leaders has helped improve teachers’ knowledge and practice. The welldesigned curriculum provides a firm foundation and structure for staff to follow. Staff have good subject knowledge and pay particular attention to improving pupils’ vocabulary.
