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. The previous headteacher left in December 2017 and your current deputy headteacher led the school for a short period of time. Following your appointment in February 2018, you acted quickly and reviewed all areas of the school, correctly identifying and prioritising areas for improvement. You and your governors reviewed the school’s middle leadership structure and besides reading, writing and mathematics, you put in place leadership roles for every other curriculum subject in the school. As a result, leadership and management have been strengthened further. Governance is now a strength of the school. The knowledgeable chair of the governing body leads the governing body well. Following a comprehensive skills audit, new governors were recruited to strengthen the governing body. Governors now have a wide range of skills and expertise and are routinely involved in school life. They provide robust challenge and support to leaders and know the strengths and weaknesses of the school very well. There is strong capacity in the school’s leadership to achieve the improvements you aspire to. You and your deputy headteacher are relentless in your determination for continuous school improvement. You always put the children and pupils in your school at the heart of what you and your staff do. You acknowledge the highly transient pupil population in your school and the local community, but you do not let that affect your ambitions. Your passion has ensured that leadership is focused not only on the progress of pupils, but also on their whole school experience. As a result, the progress pupils make from their varying starting points has been strong, overall, since the last inspection. School leaders have successfully dealt with the areas for improvement identified in the last inspection report. At the last inspection, you were asked to improve leadership and management further by developing the role of middle leaders. Leaders invested in targeted professional development for the staff leading English and mathematics in the school, with both gaining nationally recognised qualifications in middle leadership. You established leadership roles for all other subjects in the school, including science, and ensured that staff leading these areas received appropriate training. As a result, middle leadership has been strengthened further and staff leading these areas have gained confidence and greatly improved their knowledge and skills. At the last inspection, school leaders were also asked to improve the quality of teaching and thereby further raise the attainment for all pupils and, in particular, the most able pupils. Since your appointment, you have focused heavily on ensuring that staff receive the training required to plan learning activities that meet the needs of all pupils, including the most able pupils. You reviewed the teaching and learning of reading, writing and mathematics. As a result, the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standards is improving. Safeguarding is effective. You and your deputy headteacher have ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed. There is a strong safeguarding culture in the school. Leaders and staff know the pupils well and the monitoring of pupils’ welfare is thorough and detailed. You ensure that you carry out appropriate checks on the suitability of all staff who work with pupils. Your safeguarding governor monitors all areas of safeguarding thoroughly. You have ensured that staff and governors receive appropriate training in child protection and are kept up to date through regular briefings. All staff know what to do if they have any concerns about the children and pupils in your school. You and your staff meet weekly and discuss all concerns raised about pupils. As a result, the school shares information with external agencies effectively. Leaders follow up referrals diligently and monitor the impact of actions closely. Pupils report that they feel safe in school and know who to go to if they have any concerns. They also know what to do to stay safe online. Pupils say that bullying is very rare, and are keen to tell me that: ‘Bullying is illegal in our school!’ When it does happen, teachers deal with it effectively. Inspection evidence and the views of parents and staff also support this. Pupils are considerate, polite and respectful to each other and to staff. The relationships between staff and pupils are very strong. As a result, behaviour in lessons and conduct around the school environment are very good.
