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.

“Excellent Communication”

unlock
"> My daughter has just started in year 7 and so far I can honestly say I’m impressed. We are very happy that we chose this school. Communication is excellent we are constantly updated with our daughters progress academically and with the current covid health situation we often receive emails, text and even phone calls from the school, I feel St George’s do their best to keep all pupils, families and their staff safe. My daughter has had to isolate due to COVID, she hasn't missed a lesson , work has been sent via google class room and she has been able to continue with her accelerated reading program allowing her to log on at home which gives me a great piece of mind and I've been assured her physical absence will not effect her attendance record. Since going into year 7 my daughter understands that she is in charge of her own learning and is accountable for her behaviour inside and out of school, that uniform, time keeping and correct equipment are part of learning and all are expected at St. George’s in preparation for entering the world of work. Believe, Achieve, Care is the St George's DNA this is taught everyday and in every lesson.
