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 at New Fosseway School. One pupil described it as ‘my second home’. Staff know pupils well. Relationships are strong. Staff help pupils to express their emotions and, as a result, pupils feel safe and behave well. Pupils help each other, and they say that bullying does not happen. They feel that staff would resolve it quickly if it did occur. Staff are ambitious for pupils. They want them to become independent adults, who are active citizens. Leaders provide many experiences for pupils to engage with the local community and develop social skills. For example, in the sixth form, students value opportunities to work in the school’s community café. Leaders have given much thought to the structure of the curriculum. Staff use this to plan pupils’ learning with care. They use pupils’ education, health and care (EHC) plans to set individual targets. Pupils have a wide range of learning needs. Staff skilfully adapt the curriculum to meet pupils’ needs. Pupils make progress and can talk about what they have learned and how their teachers help them to learn.
