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

Pupils are incredibly happy and proud to be part of this high-achieving school. The school has a clearly defined ethos and set of values. These are based around ‘LATIN Learning’, which stands for ‘leadership, aspiration, teamwork, innovation and nurturing’. This is the bedrock of all leaders’ and pupils’ work. Pupils enjoy their learning. They share leaders’ high expectations of themselves. Pupils engage well with the curriculum and as a result achieve well. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils show confidence and maturity. Sixth-form students provide positive role models for younger pupils. There is a clear expectation that sixth formers give back with a wide array of leadership and volunteering opportunities, including house captains, peer listening ambassadors and fitness prefects. Pupils engage well with the extensive range of enriching experiences through extra-curricular clubs. The ‘electives programme’ teaches pupils skills such as teamwork and reflects the ‘Latin virtues’ of the school. Examples include the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and first-aid qualifications. Bullying is rare and, when it does occur, is dealt with swiftly by staff. Leaders have ensured that there is an emphasis on building strong relationships across the school community. Recently appointed diversity leaders promote and celebrate different cultures in the school. Pupils feel unconditionally safe at the school.
