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 are ambitious for pupils and have high expectations of them. Consequently, you do your utmost to ensure that all pupils are well supported to meet the challenging targets you set. Your evaluation of the school’s performance is accurate. You know which areas need to be improved to make the education you provide even better. You act on what your evaluation tells you to ensure that standards continue to rise. For example, you recognised that there were gaps in the tracking of pupils’ progress through key stage 3. You developed a role within the staffing structure to address this. As a consequence, you now receive high-quality information about the progress that pupils make during Years 7, 8 and 9. This allows you to provide additional help to pupils when they fall behind and supports the good progress that pupils make across the school. You are justly proud of the success of pupils in the English Baccalaureate. A far higher proportion of pupils at The Broxbourne School complete the qualifications necessary to achieve the English Baccalaureate than is typical nationally. Pupils’ progress in the English Baccalaureate element of the Progress 8 measure is well above average. This reflects the high expectations you have for pupils, and is indicative of the good quality of teaching they receive.
