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. In recent years, there have been many changes of staff and to the leadership and governance of the school. You have managed the impact of these changes well and staff work together effectively as a team. Governors and trustees from the multiacademy trust (MAT) provide good support to the school and are well informed through your detailed reports and their own regular visits. You have an accurate view of the school’s strengths. Your plans set out clearly how you are improving aspects of the school. Sibford Gower is a small and inclusive village school with a strong community feel. As one pupil explained, ‘We are a whole big family.’ Relationships are warm. Pupils are considerate and well-mannered towards adults and each other, and their behaviour is good. They speak with pride about their school and personal achievements. Many parents and carers speak very positively about the school; as one parent commented, ‘I can’t thank the school enough for the support they have given my child.’ However, some parents expressed a lack of confidence in the leadership of the school. They feel that communication could be improved and that their concerns are not always dealt with in a timely manner. Pupils enjoy the many clubs and extra-curricular activities on offer, for example learning to tie knots and the making of dens in the school’s outdoor learning area.
