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 school shares the site with a nursery which takes children from birth to four years old. The nursery is run by the same governing body as the school and has the same headteacher. However, it is registered and inspected separately from the school. Nearly half of all pupils are not from a White British background. The largest proportion of these come from Eastern European countries, mainly Poland, with other pupils coming from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. Nearly half of all pupils do not speak English as their first language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is similar to the national figure. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities and who receive support is much higher than the proportion found in most schools. The school runs a breakfast and after-school club on site. Inspection report: Shepton Mallet Community Infants’ School & Nursery, 6–7 February 2018 Page 8 of 10 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed learning across the school and completed observations jointly with the headteacher. Meetings were held with the headteacher and the deputy headteacher, who also has the roles of coordinator for pupils who have SEN, Reception leader and literacy coordinator. Inspectors also met with governors, teachers, parents and pupils. Inspectors looked carefully at work in pupils’ books to check that they are making progress. Inspectors scrutinised a wide range of documentation, including the school’s selfevaluation and improvement plan, attendance records and information relating to the pupil premium and the sport premium. Inspectors talked to pupils in the playground while observing lunchtime and playtimes as well as in lessons. Inspectors took account of 17 responses to the Ofsted online survey, Parent View, and 27 responses to the staff survey. Inspectors checked the school’s safeguarding documentation carefully and spoke with adults and pupils to check that pupils are kept safe.
