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

As a result of the aspirational leadership of teaching and learning that you and your leaders are providing, outcomes are improving rapidly. The dip in standards in 2016 has been quickly rectified. This is because of incisive action taken to improve teaching and to build pupils’ resilience in tackling questions under test conditions. You have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. In 2014, you became a multi-academy trust consisting of two schools, with a further school joining the Stour Federation Partnership in September 2015. As executive headteacher, you have strategically used the talents of all staff in leading the school forward. You have created a harmonious learning community, including parents as true partners in learning. You and your staff are working together as a highly motivated team in pursuit of the best outcomes for your pupils. This strengthens your capacity for further improvement. Your leadership of learning has improved teachers’ skills of questioning, an area addressed since the last inspection. Teachers now ask questions that challenge all pupils. The vast majority of parents are very pleased with the school. They say that the school has been most successful in developing pupils’ enthusiasm for lifelong learning. You have implemented technology to help parents access their children’s daily learning. You also provide plenty of information for them on how to keep their children safe online. Parents I spoke to were most appreciative of the communication that they receive, the ‘open door’ policy that you operate and the warm relationships that teachers have with pupils. You have very high expectations of both your staff and pupils. Teachers undertake evidence-based research on the best ways to achieve the highest outcomes for pupils. Teachers share this information with support staff to help them improve their practice. As a result, all staff know precisely the skills that they need to teach in order to accelerate pupils’ progress. You have introduced weekly phase meetings, where pupils’ barriers to learning are discussed and remedies sought to overcome them. This has resulted in the development of bespoke tracking systems which highlight the strengths and gaps in pupils’ learning. You have wisely targeted funding for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and for those who are disadvantaged. Interventions are tailormade to their needs, resulting in good progress. Parents are particularly pleased with the help that you give them in accessing strategies that help with homework. You have rightly targeted the need to improve pupils’ reasoning skills in mathematics. This initiative is working better in some year groups than others. For example, some of the older pupils have started to justify their answers by writing their explanations in their exercise books. This practice is not yet consistently embedded throughout the school. Learning in your school is vibrant and exciting, as seen by the quality of displays that celebrate pupils’ achievements in a variety of subjects. Your approach to linking literacy and numeracy to a history or science topic, such as that seen in key stage 1 where pupils study superheroes and in key stage 2 where they study the function of a heart, has led to improved outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics. Through your excellent range of visits and visitors to the school, boys are actively engaged in learning. Evidence seen during the inspection supports your accurate self-evaluation that the majority of pupils are making good progress in relation to their starting points. Pupils behave well and are interested in learning. They live the school’s values of ‘respect for self and others’ and this has created a highly respectful learning community. You seek ways of helping pupils retain information. In order to improve mental recall in mathematics, you and your staff have designed ‘Total Recall’ badges, which pupils wear with pride to demonstrate their fluency with numbers. However, staff are not yet as confident as they could be with the new planning format for mathematics designed to help deepen pupils’ understanding in this subject. The early years provision is well led and managed. As a result, there has been a steady increase in the proportion of children who reach a good level of development. Children settle very well into school life and have plenty of opportunities to work both indoors and outdoors. Staff are particularly vigilant to children’s needs and develop warm and trusting relationships, enabling all children to make good progress in relation to their starting points.
