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 to attend a school that has improved so much. One pupil summed up the views of many when she said that they are, ‘well looked after’ at the academy. Pupils are unanimous in their praise of all staff. Staff care about pupils’ well-being. They are always there if pupils need extra support, including with their work. Pupils enjoy respectful relationships with each other as well as with staff. Typically, pupils model the academy’s ‘PRIDE’ values of being positive, respectful, independent, determined and excellent through positive behaviour in lessons and around the school. Pupils are safe. They know they can speak to a trusted adult if they have any concerns. This extends to bullying. On the rare occasion that an incident of bullying happens, staff deal with it immediately. Pupils understand that discriminatory language is not acceptable here. Leaders have high expectations for pupils’ academic achievements. They make strong provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stages of their education.

The teachers are all so kind and caring which makes the school have a very special feel about it - I can only see the school getting better and better.

“Well done Brittons Academy”

unlock
"> My child is doing very well at Brittons Academy and enjoys going to school. The staff are all very good at their job and loyal. Many of the staff were there when I was at school, so this just goes to show how well they think the school is, or they would have moved on. Hoping my other child gets a place in September 2019 and succeeds.
“Really pleased”

unlock
"> I am really pleased with the school. My son struggled with the transition from Primary school to Secretary school they are really supportive. They really helped us and he is now thriving.
