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 enjoy attending this happy and caring school. They feel safe and secure. This is because pupils form warm and trusting relationships with staff. The day gets off to a cheerful start with a fun session where pupils greet their friends in class. Well-established daily routines create a safe and predictable environment for pupils. This helps them to engage well with their learning in class. Everyone in school shares the same high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Staff know how to give just the right level of support to enable pupils to make the right choices for themselves. Teaching staff work collaboratively with therapists. Therapy programmes are threaded through pupils’ timetables and are integral to their success. Staff seamlessly incorporate this provision into learning activities. If complex health needs mean that pupils are unable to attend school for long periods, they receive personalised support from skilled staff. This helps pupils to continue with their education and retain a strong sense of belonging to the school community. Leaders are ambitious and determined to ensure every pupil should benefit from a rich, broad learning experience. Their focused actions are evident in the significant work that has taken place to revise the curriculum.
