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. You lead a highly effective leadership team. Each member is astute and has an accurate assessment of the school’s performance. Your checks on teaching are of central importance at Wellesley Primary School. These checks form part of a thorough monitoring process which improves outcomes for pupils, as well as improving the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. Leaders have high expectations and use meticulous analysis to inform every decision. Once leaders have identified an area for improvement, they tackle this head on and evaluate the impact of their actions. The system is now established and leaders use this well to tackle previous weaknesses. As a result, leaders’ timely interventions ensure that outcomes for pupils continue to improve. Governors share your thorough understanding of the school and speak knowledgeably about the school’s strengths and areas for development. They act strategically to improve the school and do so with a full arsenal of information. Governors are not complacent. They have sought support from the local authority and have also ensured that they have access to suitable training. As a result, governors are holding leaders to account effectively. You have an incredibly detailed and comprehensive view of the school. You evaluate each area with accuracy and honesty. The interest of the pupil lies at the heart of the decisions you make. Behaviour across the school is positive and pupils demonstrate courtesy towards every member of the school. You have a positive relationship with parents and invite them in regularly to involve them in school life. When I visited, in excess of 20 parents attended the Year 2 lunch event. Staff are equally positive about the school, are immensely proud to be members of staff in your school and feel that leaders support them and take their well-being into account. This is a caring, nurturing learning environment. As a result, pupils, parents and staff are overwhelmingly positive about the school. At the beginning of the inspection, we agreed on the key lines of enquiry to consider during the day. These included establishing the effectiveness of actions taken to improve progress for the most able pupils in key stage 2, particularly in mathematics. We also explored how leaders are monitoring pupils’ progress in reading and mathematics and the impact of their work. We then considered whether attendance was improving for particular groups of pupils. We also considered the quality of support for pupils in key stage 1 who are working below the standard expected for their age and need to catch up with their peers. Finally, we considered whether safeguarding is effective. Safeguarding is effective. Members of the designated safeguarding team are aware of their responsibilities and carry these out meticulously. Pre-employment checks are in-depth and in accordance with statutory checks. Leaders ensure that staff know what to do if they have concerns about a pupil and detailed chronologies are in place. All members of staff are level 1 safeguarding trained and all receive regular training on the ‘Prevent’ duty and updates to the school’s own child protection policy. Those responsible for safeguarding across the school make timely referrals to external agencies and pass on any concerns that they may have. As a result, strong safeguarding practice is deep-rooted in recruitment procedures and across school life. Staff are well-trained and pupils are safe. Leaders and governors play a proactive role towards self-improvement. The school’s robust self-evaluation plays an integral role in achieving this. An audit into the effectiveness of safeguarding at Wellesley Primary School pinpointed the next steps and leaders acted swiftly. One necessary improvement was to promote e-safety across the school. Leaders set up a working party and established an action plan to address any shortcomings. As a result, leaders have successfully raised awareness of e-safety. Pupils feel safe in school and eloquently described how adults in the school promote a safe and caring environment. Pupils knew how to achieve safety online. They told me that ‘Digital Leaders’ play a vital role in highlighting the importance of this. Pupils also highlighted how behaviour across the school is a strength and how there are few instances of bullying in the school.
