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 are proud of the diversity represented within their school. They animatedly described ‘the power of you’ days where they celebrate each other’s cultures and faiths. Pupils said that everyone is free to be themselves. This creates a sense of belonging which helps pupils to feel happy in school. Pupils are keen to ensure that visitors are made to feel welcome. Polite and respectful interactions between pupils and adults are the norm. The atmosphere in the school is calm and orderly. Pupils typically behave well. Pupils embrace opportunities to make changes for the benefit of others. For instance, following a consultation with their peers, the student council negotiated a change to the uniform policy. Community ambassadors help to look after the environment in the local area. The school prioritises pupils’ personal development alongside academic success. Pupils benefit from the ‘CARE’ (community, aspiration, resilience, education) programme which includes activities that help to promote well-being and develop their self-esteem. For example, pupils participate in sessions where they reflect on their positive qualities. Pupils appreciate the care that staff have taken to ensure that the diversity of the school community is reflected in the school’s high-quality curriculum. The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievement. Most pupils achieve well.
