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. You have continued to create a learning environment where pupils are happy and safe, and value learning. Staff feel supported to develop their skills and teach enriching lessons that enable pupils to make good or better progress, particularly in the sixth form. Progress overall at GCSE and A level last year was significantly better than average, reflecting the successful work done. Leaders have an accurate view of the school’s performance. This is a consequence of the work carried out since the last inspection to refine systems for supporting and monitoring the quality of teaching and learning. There has also been an overhaul of the curriculum and assessment system. The views of pupils, parents and staff have been heeded as leaders review their work and plan for the future. This approach is recognised by the school community as a key aspect of the school’s recent success in driving improvements. Leaders have been successful in managing changes to assessment and the curriculum for GCSE and A level while preserving the creative outlets that pupils value and enjoy. The previous inspection identified the need to improve the consistency of teaching, learning and assessment, particularly by challenging pupils further and making best use of assessment. Teachers now benefit from a well-planned cycle of professional development which supports leaders’ plans for improvement of the school. An outcome of this is that teachers now routinely plan activities that stretch and challenge the most able. For example, they use questioning with skill to further maintain the momentum behind pupils’ progress. The school’s assessment procedures are robust. They are followed well by teachers and designed to promote the development of the knowledge and skills required at GCSE and A level, from the start of Year 7. Teachers are precise in their understanding of most pupils’ needs and consequently activities are typically well pitched. The progress of disadvantaged pupils has been a particular focus of the school. Disadvantaged pupils now make broadly average progress while their peers make significantly better progress across a range of subjects including English, mathematics, science and modern foreign languages. The most able disadvantaged pupils do not make as much progress overall and are a focus of leaders’ plans for further development. The sixth form is a particular area of strength, with students making significantly better than average progress year on year since the previous inspection, particularly in the academic subjects that form the vast majority of those on offer. Leaders are rightly proud of the success that students enjoy in the sixth form and afterwards as they now move on to university courses and other career routes. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors have ensured that there is a culture within the school where pupils’ welfare is the number one priority. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. Leaders have effective procedures in place that anticipate potential risks and can respond rapidly should the need arise. The school community’s awareness of local risks, including gangs, radicalisation, online safety and mental health, has underpinned the school’s work. Staff are effective in identifying and supporting pupils who may be more vulnerable to such risks. As a result, pupils, parents and staff consider this to be a safe, happy and welcoming school where bullying is rare, concerns are dealt with effectively and diversity is celebrated. Inspectors agree with this view. The school’s policies and procedures for safeguarding pupils’ well-being are robust. All required pre-employment checks are made on staff and recorded accurately on the single central record. Recruitment files are of high quality. Staff receive routine training and have a secure understanding of both the potential risks and how to manage them if needed. Governors are skilled and knowledgeable, and support the school’s safeguarding culture; they take their responsibilities very seriously. Inspection findings At the start of this inspection, we agreed to prioritise four lines of enquiry. We started by considering how well disadvantaged pupils, particularly the most able and boys, are supported in English, science and humanities subjects.
