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 exceptionally proud of their vibrant and welcoming school. The school is very ambitious for its pupils. They thrive here thanks to staff’s unwavering focus on well-being and high expectations of pupils’ learning. Right from the start of early years, pupils achieve very well across all their subjects. Strong and respectful relationships are the backbone of the school. Polite, friendly pupils show great care and understanding towards each other. Starting from Nursery, pupils learn to follow clear routines and boundaries. Not a moment of learning time is wasted. During lessons, pupils are keen and attentive learners who relish the interesting activities and enjoy participating in regular discussion. The school offers many exciting opportunities that widen pupils’ experiences. Pupils participate enthusiastically in clubs such as boxing, gymnastics and chess. Activities like sailing, and trips to the farm and museums help bring classroom learning to life. Pupils greatly value their important leadership responsibilities in the ‘mini parliament’ where they help to make key decisions about the school. They know that staff always listen to their views. Parents and carers speak highly of the school’s work. Many comment how staff go above and beyond to support their child.
