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. On meeting you and the team, your collective passion to provide pupils with the best possible opportunities is obvious. You say that working at the school is a privilege. Since the last inspection, you and the team have experienced significant events that have impacted heavily on the life of the school. However, you have worked together to come through this and have ensured that the focus has remained fixed on the needs of pupils at the school. You and the leadership team have a good understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. The school is part of the Griffin Federation of Schools. You work closely with the other schools in the federation to provide pupils with the benefits of a larger school within a small-school setting. The expertise of subject leaders and of those who support pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is shared across the federation. You ensure that the school receives highquality and bespoke training to develop the skills of teachers. Staff are proud to work at the school. Many believe that the support provided by the leadership team has enabled the school to improve further. Occasionally, the use of assessment information has not been sharp enough to carefully monitor the progress that pupils make between key stages. Teachers’ expectations in science are sometimes not high enough and pupils could make stronger progress.
