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 your appointment in 2017, you have ensured that Sandringham School excels with the pastoral care it provides for all pupils. As one parent commented: ‘The school has such a wonderful happy ethos. My son literally skips in, full of excitement for the day ahead.’ You have gained the full support of your staff, who are unanimously proud to work in the school. Staff morale is very high, as shown by the staff survey completed during the inspection. Under your determined and reflective leadership, you have built a strong and ambitious leadership team. Its members are eager to play their part in securing further improvements in the school’s work, and have a secure understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. Since the last inspection, Sandringham School has joined The Kite Academy Trust, which provides positive challenge and support to you, governors and the leadership team. Pupils love coming to school, saying that it is a very friendly place. They enjoy learning and work well together. For example, in a Year 2 English lesson, pupils were joining short sentences using a variety of conjunctions to make longer sentences. They listened well to each other’s suggestions and supported each other in spotting punctuation clues. Pupils say that their teachers are kind and help them when they make mistakes. Pupils particularly enjoy the improved school grounds and play equipment, especially the running track funded by the sports premium. They also value the opportunity of becoming a child governor, which enables them to have a strategic input into school improvement. The inspection report for your predecessor school highlighted several strengths, including strong teaching, good opportunities for the promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and high involvement of parents. These aspects continue to be great assets to Sandringham School. At the time of the last inspection, the school was asked to strengthen leadership and management by ensuring that school improvement documents had quantifiable measures of success. You provide clear direction for the school’s future improvements. Current school improvement planning and self-evaluation documents are sharp and succinct, and are focused on the right things. In 2017, pupils’ attainment in reading at the end of key stage 1 was above that seen in other schools nationally. However, pupils’ attainment in writing and mathematics was below the national average. Leaders responded swiftly to these results, and provisional performance information for key stage 1 pupils in 2018 indicates that the performance of pupils in writing and mathematics will be better. However, you are not complacent. School improvement planning shows that leaders have identified the need to improve pupils’ reasoning and problem-solving skills in mathematics. The rate of progress of disadvantaged pupils and lower-attaining pupils in writing is slower than that of their classmates. We agreed that improving this aspect of the school’s performance should be a key priority for leaders. Safeguarding is effective. School leaders and governors have ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Records are detailed and of a high quality. You are tenacious in your approach to seeking support for pupils and their families, working effectively with other agencies. You and your staff know pupils very well. You regularly discuss their welfare with staff. As a result, staff are vigilant in following up any concerns they may have about a child. They receive regular safeguarding training and are aware of what to do if they have worries about a pupil. As a team, they understand the specific risks associated with your local area. All parents and carers who responded to Ofsted’s questionnaire think that their children are safe in school, appreciating the recent changes to the security of the site. One parent described how you and your staff ‘go the extra mile’ to support children and families. Another comment, typical of many, stated that the school is ‘a warm and nurturing environment for children to blossom and grow.’ Pupils too say that they feel safe in school. They know who to talk to if they have any worries and say that their teachers will always listen to them. They speak confidently about how their school keeps them safe, such as when online or, potentially, in the event of a fire or a lockdown.
