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. Since taking up the post of headteacher in 2014, you have focused on improving the progress that pupils make. As a result, all pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Some pupils make substantial progress and, as a result, many now achieve the national standard in both English and mathematics from low starting points. Following the last inspection, you were asked to improve the quality of teaching so that all pupils experience good teaching and are provided with more challenge through the work that is set for them. You have secured these necessary improvements by all leaders focusing on improving the quality of teaching across the school. As a result of this, teaching is now at least good because you invest well in teacher development. You have provided teachers with a great deal of training on how to teach the new mathematics and reading curriculums. Teachers benefit from the coaching and advice they receive from leaders. They also profit from the work you do with other schools to share expertise and find more effective ways of teaching pupils so that they can be successful learners. You have created a culture where all teachers are committed to pursuing excellence in their teaching. Teachers have good subject knowledge and this enables them to provide the challenge that pupils need, especially those with higher starting points. Teachers ensure that pupils are provided with opportunities to deepen their understanding of a topic and spend time trying to master skills, rather than rushing from topic to topic. This has resulted in more pupils achieving the higher standard in English and mathematics at the end of Year 6. You have identified that the school must ensure that teaching across all subjects is as strong as it is in English and mathematics. Your own records show that some teaching across the foundation subjects is strong, but this is not yet consistent across all subjects and all year groups. Safeguarding is effective. You have created a culture where everybody knows the importance of keeping children safe. Leaders are relentless in the actions they take to ensure that the pupils are safe. Your safeguarding procedures are rigorous. All adults in the school know how important it is to make swift and speedy referrals if they have concerns about any pupil. Governors have a very detailed understanding of their role in ensuring that the pupils in their care are safe, and they check this constantly. Leaders work hard to ensure that pupils attend school regularly and you have addressed the low attendance of certain groups of pupils. Previously, pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who receive free school meals had much lower attendance than their peers. You have used a combination of rewards and sanctions to ensure that the whole community understands the importance of good attendance. As a result, attendance is improving for all pupils. Your school provides a warm and nurturing environment where pupils say they ‘love’ to come to learn. Pupils have a well-developed understanding of how to be safe. Their behaviour around school is commendable. At break and lunchtime, pupils benefit from highly organised routines. They eat and play together well. Any silliness is dealt with effectively, so that pupils are always in a calm environment. Pupils understand what to do if they or their friends are having difficulties. They are taught about safety in lessons and are constantly reminded of its importance through assemblies and other events during the year. Pupils have a very thorough understanding of how to be safe inside and outside school. For example, they know how to use computers safely and how to be safe in public places, such as the park. Inspection findings At the start of the inspection, we agreed to look at the impact that leaders have on the progress pupils make in reading, especially boys and those pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. This has been a focus for you and your team. You have changed the leadership of teaching, appointing a leader who has transformed the teaching of reading across the school.
