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

‘Believe and achieve to be the best that you can be’ is the vision that underpins everything at St Michael’s. Caring adults nurture pupils. Staff take the time to know the pupils well. They understand pupils’ individual needs and know how to support them. Pupils behave well. They are kind to each other. Pupils demonstrate the ten school values. Pupils know staff will help them if they have worries. Bullying is rare. Pupils know what different types of bullying may look like. Pupils show positive attitudes to their work and encourage others to do the same. The school is a calm and purposeful place. Leaders provide a range of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests. This includes holding a talent show for pupils to share their talents. Pupils take part in extracurricular clubs and residential visits. Leaders carefully consider how pupils will develop their self-esteem and independence. There is a thriving sense of community, where older pupils play alongside the younger ones. The St Michael’s curriculum allows for pupils to engage with stimulating activities in the outdoors. This includes creating an award-winning legacy garden recognised at the Lincolnshire Show.
