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

You and your leadership team have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You promote high aspirations for pupils which permeate the school. Your school is well respected for its contribution to strengthening writing moderation, and provision for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities in the locality. Your staff value the many opportunities you provide for them to share ideas, learn from each other, and visit outstanding schools, so that they can strive for the very best. Teaching continues to improve across the school. As one parent commented, ‘The school staff show great endeavour to do good for all pupils.’ The vast majority of parents who spoke to me, or completed the Ofsted questionnaire, echo this sentiment. This is a school where pupils are motivated to learn and they achieve well. They benefit from a varied and high-quality curriculum, which ensures that they thrive and make good progress. Pupils take great pride in their school and recall memorable experiences that have inspired them, such as a visit to the Museum of London. Leaders and teachers have embedded opportunities to develop pupils’ spiritual, social, moral and cultural understanding and guide their exemplary conduct and appreciation of others. Tailored support for the most vulnerable pupils helps them to make a positive contribution so that those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve as well as they can. Leaders and governors have maintained the exemplary strengths found in the last inspection. The school’s inclusive climate ensures that pupils continue to demonstrate the values of ‘love’, ‘hope’ and ‘forgiveness’ in every aspect of their behaviour, so that they can make a positive contribution to their community. At the last inspection, inspectors noted that you needed to improve teaching, in particular adults’ questioning skills and pupils’ involvement in assessment. You have been wholly successful in dealing with this. As we walked the school, pupils readily showed me what they were learning and why. They referred to the high-quality displays which help them to chart their class work, arising from a ‘Big Question’ to frame what they are learning about. Older pupils proofread their writing well. They appreciate resources, such as editing spectacles and special places to go and check their work. These, they say, help them to focus their attention without interruption. Other Year 6 pupils eagerly shared the amendments to their play scripts, talking about why the approaches they had used were effective. Following the last inspection, you took effective action to quicken the progress of the most able pupils. As a result, increasing proportions of pupils exceed expectations at the end of the Reception class and in key stage 1, in particular in writing. Notably, provisional test results show that in 2016, pupils had made better progress than the national average in reading by the end of key stage 2. During our discussions, you recognised that your new assessment system helps teachers to identify gaps in pupils’ skills and to address them swiftly so that pupils catch up. However, your tracking and assessment information does not fully reflect the incisive information you get from looking at the work in pupils’ books. Therefore, your current assessment information is not as accurate as you would wish it to be. It does not help you well enough to involve others in the analysis of pupils’ progress. As a result, governors cannot interrogate your work as diligently as they do in other areas. Safeguarding is effective. You have ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed. Your culture of vigilance is tangible and you quickly pick up any possible welfare concerns. These instances are thankfully few, but when they do occur, you respond promptly and appropriately to seek the help that pupils and their families need. New staff receive a thorough induction and therefore understand statutory guidance and school policies to keep pupils safe and to report appropriately. In the past, some pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities have not attended well enough. You have taken effective action to monitor the attendance of pupils and you work well to support families to improve this. For example, we reviewed the support for the children who have reoccurring medical absence and need greater support, in particular those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. We agreed that your actions were reducing further absences.
