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. Typically, the pupils make good progress and do well in the national tests at the end of key stage 2. Their progress in reading is particularly strong. You have tackled the areas for improvement from the inspection systematically. You have extended the opportunities for the pupils to write in a range of subjects. You, the staff and the governing body convey a strong sense of commitment to the continuous improvement of the school. You have increased the opportunities for the staff to share practice and to learn from other schools. Working closely with the staff and the governing body, you reflect on the school’s work frequently. You identify accurately things that can be improved. You make sure that the school’s priorities, for example to improve the teaching of writing, are understood and acted upon by everyone. You consider very carefully the initiatives that you take. Consequently, new ways of working become routine and have a positive effect over time on the pupils’ progress. You have revised your approach to tracking how well the pupils are learning. As a result, you and the other leaders have a more-precise picture now of the pupils’ progress, from the early years and on through the school. Your approach to checking on the quality of the school’s work is broad-based. You focus systematically on the priorities for improving the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. As result, you, the other leaders and the governing body are well informed about how well the pupils are doing and what is making a difference for them. You seek out and make good use of the views of professionals from outside the school. Those views make an important contribution to the well-balanced decisions that you take. The pupils are making better progress in writing currently than was the case recently, even though their progress has been good. In the early years, the children have made good progress in writing this year, from a low base. Previously, there had been a decline in the levels reached by the children at the end of the early years foundation stage. You have, appropriately, increased the emphasis on the teaching of writing, as a result of your analysis of information about the pupils’ progress in that subject. You have made changes to classrooms and to the curriculum, particularly to encourage boys to write more, including in the early years. The changes are leading to morepositive attitudes to writing, including among the boys who are more reluctant writers. Sometimes, the pupils are not helped enough to extend their writing skills. You have put in place new approaches to teaching the pupils English grammar, spelling and punctuation. Some of these approaches are still relatively new and are not all being implemented as consistently, or with as much vigour, as they might be. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of good quality. The staff, including the midday supervisors, know and understand the school’s policies and procedures for reporting any concern that they may have. The staff understand their responsibilities. They are vigilant with regard to potential concerns, whether seemingly minor or obviously important. The school records information carefully, so that a picture can be built up over time for each pupil. As a result, the pupils’ needs and circumstances are known very well. The school’s family support worker works closely with families and with other local services, so that pupils who need it get the appropriate help. The pupils feel safe and happy at the school. There are very few reported incidents of bullying. The pupils’ behaviour is predominantly good. You are alert to the pupils’ mental health needs. For example, pupils who may benefit from seeing a counsellor, whatever the nature of the problem, have access to one.
