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

Leaders put pupils at the heart of all they do. Consequently, pupils are safe and happy. They enjoy learning and come to school with smiles on their faces. Leaders have raised expectations of standards and behaviour. They work relentlessly to ensure that pupils continue to catch up, following the national lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pupils take responsibility for their actions. They reflect on any wrong-doing and celebrate success. As a result, pupils learn without disruption. Equally, on the rare occasions that pupils have fall outs with friends, staff deal with them swiftly and effectively. The curriculum is rich with opportunities and experiences to widen pupils’ understanding. For example, on the day of the inspection Year 1 pupils were learning about animals in science with living examples of scorpions, snakes and other creatures. Staff provide a variety of extra-curricular activities, such as sewing, gardening and craft work, as well as sports. Staff make every effort to know families well. Parents come to coffee mornings in school, where they can share their delights and concerns. This builds on the vital contact made during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Big staff turnover makes me wonder what's going on”

unlock
"> The school is far more attractive and well presented than in the past. But the staff turnover since the arrival of a new headteacher has been ridiculously high. Good teachers (including a deputy) and teaching assistants have left and my own daughter's two teachers are both absent with illness. I'm exceptionally concerned as to the stability of the school and the effect a lack of continuity is having on children.
