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. You have provided strong, committed and perceptive leadership, which has driven the continuous development of the school. Along with your leaders and governors, you have accurately identified the school’s strengths and priorities for improvement. The school’s detailed self-evaluation and improvement plan clearly identify the priorities for improving the school further. Leaders, staff and governors have largely tackled the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection. They have also maintained the previously identified strengths. For example, you and your staff work hard to develop the quality of teaching and to improve pupils’ outcomes. Regular checks by leaders identify where staff need professional development or individualised support to develop their teaching skills. The vast majority of staff believe that leaders use professional development to encourage, challenge and support their improvement. Leaders’ focus on delivering an interesting curriculum through good-quality teaching has had a positive impact on pupils’ outcomes. For example, your teachers provide pupils with interesting and purposeful contexts in which to write. This has had a positive impact on pupils’ writing and English grammar, spelling and punctuation outcomes. Your focus on improving the quality of phonics teaching has resulted in a substantial improvement in pupils’ phonics skills. Consequently, in 2016, pupils’ outcomes in the Year 1 phonics screening check improved substantially and they have been above the averages found nationally for the last two years. In 2017, there was an improvement in the proportion of pupils attaining the expected and the higher standard in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of key stage 2. Your school’s results were comparable to the national averages for these measures. As a result, increasing numbers of your pupils are well prepared for starting secondary school. Your analysis of current pupil outcome information indicates that this trend is likely to continue. Your analysis shows that pupils’ progress and attainment in mathematics need to improve. You are beginning to have some success. For example, in 2017, pupils’ progress in mathematics by the end of key stage 2 improved compared to the previous year. However, there is further work to be done to raise pupils’ outcomes in mathematics, particularly in key stage 1, where some pupils are not making good progress and their attainment lags behind that expected for their age. The progress of disadvantaged pupils in this subject also needs to improve. The provision for pupils’ personal development and welfare is a key strength of the school. Your curriculum, caring ethos and opportunities for responsibilities all help to develop pupils’ citizenship skills and prepare them well for life in modern Britain. You, your staff and governors strive to ensure that each pupil is successful at your school. As a result, pupils feel safe and valued. Some of them told me the best things about your school are that they have ‘lots of friends’ and that ‘lessons are fun, challenging and enjoyable’. The overwhelming responses from parents and carers to Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View, were very positive about the school. Safeguarding is effective. You, your staff and governors give the highest priority to keeping pupils safe, and there is a strong culture of safeguarding across the school. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Leaders carry out appropriate checks for all staff, governors and volunteers. Staff and governors receive regular and appropriate training so they know how to keep pupils safe. This includes training on how to protect pupils from radicalisation and extremism. Consequently, staff and governors understand the safeguarding procedures and their own responsibilities. You and your staff work effectively with parents and other agencies. You have a determined approach to ensuring additional support for your pupils if they have specific needs. For example, support provided by the inclusion team enables pupils who may be vulnerable to thrive and succeed. Your pupils know how to keep themselves safe, including when they are online. They know the different forms that bullying can take and know that staff will help them if they ever have concerns. Pupils believe that behaviour at your school is good and that incidents of bullying are rare. You and your staff make effective use of systems to monitor behaviour and bullying. You take prompt action to address any concerns and put in well-planned support for pupils where required. Parents agreed that their children feel safe in your school and that staff ensure that children are well behaved.
