This pupil heat map shows where pupils currently attending the school live.
The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

Source: All attending pupils National School Census Data, ONS

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

Pupils at the school are safe and happy. The school has high ambitions for pupils. These are realised. Relationships are at the heart of the school. This underpins every aspect of school life. Staff relationships with pupils are nurturing and celebratory. This consistently fosters trust and encouragement. Pupils behave well, reflecting a culture of kindness and mutual respect. There is a strong partnership between parents and carers and the school, built on open communication and mutual respect. Parents are empowered to support learning at home, particularly around reading for pleasure. This enhances pupils’ literacy and encourages a love of learning beyond the classroom. Pupils access a wide range of inclusive clubs with adjustments made for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This promotes belonging and confidence, ensuring that all pupils can develop their talents and interests. Pupils learn about road and internet safety through the curriculum and during assemblies. This supports them to stay physically and digitally safe in everyday life. Pupils understand the impact of waste and the importance of recycling. This supports environmental awareness and nurtures a sense of global responsibility. Pupils understand the difference between right and wrong. This guides their behaviour and supports strong character development.
