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. Pupils currently at the school are thriving and making good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are making good progress across the curriculum. Attendance improved in 2018. Pupils behave well and are safe. Your leadership is calm and decisive. You are well supported by a strong senior leadership team. For example, the deputy headteacher has implemented a clear assessment policy that helps pupils understand their successes and what they need to do next. The special educational needs coordinator has an impressive understanding of the wide range of spoken language needs of your pupils and has planned effective learning opportunities. Your staff are passionate about improving the lives of pupils. Staff speak highly of your leadership because you support and challenge colleagues while understanding the need to keep workload at a reasonable level. You have brought the school through some highly challenging and turbulent times. The school has emerged as a strong and safe place for all to learn. Numbers applying to the school are rising and there are waiting lists for classes in almost every year group. Governance is a strength of the school. You and your staff help governors to understand the information you give them and they are skilled at using this to check on the quality of education. You and the governors have produced a clear and challenging development plan. This is as a result of unflinching and accurate self- evaluation. The monitoring information you give to governors is of a high quality. My scrutiny of minutes of governing body meetings and discussion with the governing body showed how openly you share the strengths and weaknesses of pupils’ progress. For example, when pupils did not do as well as you had expected in the key stage 2 mathematics tests this year, you shared all your evaluation of this with them and subjected yourself to close scrutiny from your governors. As a result, governors trust your information. Parents and carers are very pleased with the education you and your staff provide. All of the 23 free-text comments to Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View, were positive. A typical comment was, ‘We couldn’t be happier with Shrubland Street. The staff give their all to support and nurture our children.’ All of the parents who responded to the Parent View questionnaire said that they would be happy to recommend the school to another parent. You and your staff take the community school designation seriously. For example, you hold after-school English and mathematics workshops for all parents, and Diwali celebrations are run jointly with parents who speak English as an additional language. Staff offer breakfast workshops for pupils before school in English and mathematics. Pupils can attend after-school classes to help take their learning further in, for example, science, football and the arts. You hold what you call ‘Space Camp’ evenings for pupils to develop their curiosity about astronomy. Your ‘Phiz Lab’ encourages pupils to develop an interest in physics of measurement and movement through practical and engaging lessons. Consequently, science is a strength of your school. Most of your pupils speak English as an additional language and this proportion has grown significantly since the last inspection. More than 20 languages, as well as English, are represented in the school community. You have seized the opportunities this presents and the school welcomes diversity. For example, your curriculum helps pupils understand a wide range of faith and cultural traditions. Pupils are proud of their cultural heritage and have respect for modern British values. You are disappointed by the provisional results of the recent national tests in writing and mathematics at key stage 2. However, the books of pupils in Year 6 and Year 5 currently at the school show good progress over time in writing and in mathematics. For example, their work on relative and subordinate clauses shows pupils rising to the challenge of complex writing skills. Pupils’ work in mathematics shows good progress, for example in their learning about space, measurement and problem solving. Provisional results indicate that pupils in key stage 2 did better in the national test in reading in 2018 than the cohort did in 2017. Pupils enjoy reading and speak enthusiastically about the books they have chosen. You have successfully trained staff to help pupils develop secure skills of inference and comprehension. Pupils read aloud with confidence and fluency.
