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

Despite the inevitable upheaval of moving into a new building, appointing a new headteacher and various staffing changes, the school has maintained a good quality of education since the previous inspection.    The most striking feature of this school is its vision. Pupils, staff, parents and members of the local community ‘are valued, nurtured and encouraged as individuals to fulfil their potential within a Christian environment’. This has enabled pupils to flourish because they are happy and feel secure. You have successfully galvanised the school community, while dealing sensitively with a variety of different challenges, including a complete reorganisation of staff roles and responsibilities. You have developed a strong team of teaching staff who are passionate about making sure the pupils are well equipped for the next stage of their education. You have also restored the confidence of parents, which was raised as a concern at the time of the previous inspection. You have enabled parents to become much more involved in their children’s education. One parent reported that the headteacher is ‘approachable and deals with any issues effectively’. You have successfully tackled an area identified for improvement at the previous inspection by developing a marking policy, which is used well in Key Stages 1 and 2. Pupils use teachers’ feedback effectively to improve   their work. You have correctly identified that the youngest children need to have their progress recorded in a more transparent way. You also know that more could be done to make sure that they are clear about the next steps that they need to take in their learning. You and your teachers are making good use of recent training to improve pupils’ problem-solving skills, which is raising standards in mathematics. By encouraging pupils to make choices about extending their learning and working unaided, you ensure that they are developing greater stamina in their lessons. The success of this approach is reflected in the significant improvement in the 2015 Year 6 national test results, which were much higher than the national average. At the time of the previous inspection it was noted that teaching assistants were not used to best effect. You have made effective staff changes, the impact of which was clearly evident during my visit. Teaching assistants were observed effectively supporting individual, group or class sessions. However, when resources were insufficient or the space allocated for the session was inappropriate, the support was less successful.
