The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

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

West London Free School Primary is a small primary school. It opened in September 2013 with an intake of 60 Reception children who attend on a full-time basis. In September 2014 a further 60 Reception children started. The school will continue to grow to the full primary age range, catering for pupils aged between 4 and 11. The school opened because of a shortage of primary places in the local community. The school is part of a multi-academy charitable trust which includes another primary school and a secondary school. The directors of the trust oversee the work of all three schools; several are founders of the West London Free School. The secondary school has a separate governing body, with the Chair being a director of the trust. The two primary schools have the same governing body, but each school has an elected parent governor. The Chair of the two primary schools is also a director of the trust. Chairs of the Governing Body report to the board of trustees termly. The school shares the same site as the other primary school. Pupils in Year 7 and 8 are also educated on the same site. They will join the remaining secondary pupils when there is sufficient space at the new secondary school nearby. Pupils are from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, with the largest group being White British. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is below average. Almost all of these pupils are bilingual. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is well below average. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which is additional government funding provided for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and looked after children, is well below average. Currently, the leadership team consists of an executive headteacher, who is headteacher of both primary schools. Middle leaders have additional management responsibilities for the leadership of Reception and Year 1, mathematics, phonics and PE. To strengthen leadership capacity, the school has appointed a curriculum leader and a data manager on a part-time basis. Further staffing appointments, including leadership posts, will be made as the number of pupils increases. The school seeks to provide an innovative curriculum which promotes fundamental British values. The school’s values are wisdom, laughter, fellowship, success and perseverance (WLFSP).
