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, your staff and governors are highly ambitious for your school community. Your tireless work, together with your deputy headteacher, ensures that pupils’ ‘all-round’ development is promoted effectively in a stunning learning environment. Your school is therefore a hub of vibrant activities. Pupils are extremely positive about the support and help they receive from teachers and other adults. Pride in their work and efforts is evident across the school and through the actions of pupils and staff. Positive relationships between adults and pupils are typical, and attitudes to learning by adults (to their own training and development) and by pupils are strong. Your powerful and engaging leadership stimulates staff, pupils and most parents. You have successfully tackled the areas identified for improvement at the last inspection. Your chosen approach to teaching mathematics by focusing on specific groups during lessons is proving successful. Pupils’ fluency of mathematical concepts is developing well, alongside their reasoning and problem-solving skills. Teaching assistants are deployed well to meet the specific needs of groups or individual pupils. Pupils’ understanding of more complex measurements and geometry is effective and therefore matches their deeper understanding of formal calculations. Consequently, the current progress of pupils is at least good and sometimes better, such as in Year 5. Your approach to checking and tracking pupils’ progress is well established across the school. However, there remains some slight inconsistency in the accuracy of information and teachers’ knowledge of some pupils’ starting points from which to set appropriate targets. Your careful curriculum planning is delivering the academic rigour alongside the personal care to cater for pupils’ individual needs well. It is also enabling them to work together successfully. Pupils are therefore developing the key academic skills and personal qualities to be successful in their future education and life. Pupils’ personal successes and academic achievements are celebrated through the colourful and informative displays that also showcase the exciting and rich curriculum you offer. Visits to the Houses of Parliament or studying crime and punishment in the Tudor times bring learning to life for the varied and diverse groups of pupils who attend your school. Subject leaders are playing a greater part in continually improving standards in the school than previously. They regularly check on the quality of provision in their subjects and contribute to the overall school improvement plan well. The leadership of English, for example, is characterised by enthusiasm, detail, passion and good knowledge of the subject. This, in turn, is reflected in teachers’ and pupils’ extremely positive attitudes toward language, literacy, reading and writing, and is having a positive impact on pupils’ current rates of progress. Just occasionally the monitoring conducted, to establish what is working well and what needs to be further improved, is too general. Therefore, precise actions are not always suggested for teachers to improve specific aspects of their practice or pupils’ learning. The majority of parents who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, are highly complimentary about you, your staff and all you do to make their children feel happy, safe and well cared for. A very small minority of parents raised concerns about the behaviour of some pupils. These concerns were not supported by the evidence gathered by talking to pupils and staff about behaviour at the school during the inspection. Parents typically commented on the benefits of support received from the school including the extra workshops and guidance offered to them to help with their children’s learning. In particular, parents appreciate the specific care offered for vulnerable pupils with the most profound physical or emotional needs. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a particular strength. You promote this well through your rich and varied curriculum, which is enhanced through a wide range of extra-curricular activities including cookery, computer and origami. You prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain, giving many pupils opportunities to take responsibility for younger ones. Carefully planned lessons in personal, social and health education help pupils’ understanding of different cultures, faiths and beliefs. Safeguarding is effective. The welcoming and caring atmosphere created over time, allied with effective training for staff, ensures that your school has a strong culture of safeguarding.
