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

Waterthorpe Infant School is highly inclusive. A high number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities attend. All pupils and families are made to feel welcome and a given a sense of belonging. There is a distinctly nurturing ethos that runs through the school. Staff know pupils very well. This is evident in the strong relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils feel safe and secure. They are accepted and able to be themselves. Leaders do not limit their high expectations for any of their pupils. The curriculum is ambitious. It is adapted so that most pupils, including those with SEND, achieve well and are prepared for their next steps. Those that need additional support make strong progress towards personalised end points. Pupils value their school roles and responsibilities, such as being part of the school council. Healthy mind champions are proud to choose others who have shown acts of kindness. These pupils are celebrated in assembly. They are delighted to receive this recognition from their peers. The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities such as cooking, football and science clubs. The school recognises there is even more work to do in partnership with families to improve everyday attendance and punctuality. Some pupils do not attend regularly enough. They are missing important learning and do not fully benefit from all the school has to offer.
