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 previous inspection. Since your appointment in September 2016, you have built upon the existing strengths of the school. You have focused your attention on establishing a culture in which all pupils enjoy learning and make good progress. To achieve this, you have the support of a highly skilled governing body and of a committed leadership team. You and the staff make sure that the school’s caring ethos is at the heart of everything it does. The school serves a diverse community that includes a number of families from abroad, some of whom only stay in this country for a few years. Consequently, the school has developed effective strategies to support pupils who speak English as an additional language. The school’s international dimension contributes to its popularity. It also helps to reinforce the culture of inclusion and tolerance that is part of the school’s core values. Pupils are articulate and confident. They enjoy school because of the pleasant learning environment and the variety of learning activities they do as part of the curriculum. The after-school clubs and other extra-curricular activities the school provides are also very popular. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. In conversations held during the inspection, and in responses to the online Ofsted survey, Parent View, parents were overwhelmingly positive about the school. Nurturing and a strong community spirit were common themes in the comments of parents and carers, which included, ‘It is a warm, nurturing environment’ and, ‘The school team, fostered by the school leadership, seems truly to consider the needs of each child in the school.’ Historically, the attainment of pupils at both key stages 1 and 2 has been consistently high. However, progress was more variable, especially at key stage 2. You introduced a rigorous system to track the progress of each pupil so that issues could be identified and addressed swiftly. You are aware of the need to continue to develop this system with a heightened focus enough on disadvantaged pupils and the most able pupils. You are implementing a new curriculum, designed to further develop pupils’ engagement and breadth of learning. Staff and pupils are very positive about this new approach to teaching. The curriculum has now to be fully embedded to build upon its successful implementation. The school is successfully tackling the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection. It has addressed the issue about middle leadership. It continues to address the need to ensure that pupils are given work that matches their abilities, in particular in relation to meeting the needs of disadvantaged pupils and the most able pupils. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors make sure that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. As the school’s designated safeguarding lead, you are determined to create a safe environment for all and to provide the best possible support for vulnerable pupils. You work well with families and external agencies to protect children when serious concerns are raised. The detailed records you keep show that you take swift and effective actions when required. Staff receive regular training and are frequently reminded of the need to be vigilant. Parents are confident in the quality of care the school provides and trust the staff to keep their children safe. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe, including when they use the internet or social media. They trust the staff and know who they can talk to in confidence should they have concerns. Inspection findings Many children join the Reception class with levels of development that are higher than what is typical for their age, especially in the areas of language and communication. The induction process helps them, and their parents, to quickly adjust to the requirements of the early years provision. An effective initial assessment of children’s skills and abilities allows staff to address their development needs accurately. As a result, children make good progress and are well prepared for Year 1.
