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. Since your appointment as headteacher in September 2017, you have quickly established a compelling vision for continuing to improve the school. The school’s motto, ‘a journey to excellence’, successfully sums up your aspiration for every pupil to be ‘the best that they can be’. Most parents are very supportive of your leadership. One parent, expressing a view typical of many, stated, ‘Audley is a lovely school’ and another added, ‘Our child has flourished at Audley.’ Leaders and staff know pupils and their families extremely well. Many parents commented that staff are approachable and frequently ‘go the extra mile’ to help and support their children when needed. Your school provides a calm and caring environment for pupils to learn. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning. They listen carefully to each other and work well together. Routines and expectations are clear and understood. Pupils are confident and courteous, moving about the school in a sensible and orderly manner. They say that teachers are kind and help them to learn and improve their work. Your evaluation of the school’s effectiveness is honest and accurate. Despite some changes in staff and recent recruitment challenges, standards are being successfully maintained. This bears testament to the commitment of your senior leadership team. From starting points above those seen nationally, pupils make strong progress in English and mathematics. The proportions of pupils achieving the expected and higher standards in national tests are above the national averages. As a result, pupils achieve well at Audley. At the time of the previous inspection, leaders were asked to provide more opportunities for pupils to write at length in different subjects and to improve the presentation of their work. Across the school, pupils are given many opportunities to write at length. They write successfully for different purposes and in various subjects. For example, linked to their learning in science and history, Year 6 pupils wrote convincing, persuasive letters to the curator of a museum about the invention of the light bulb. The majority of pupils present their written work with care and earn recognition awards for their efforts. However, teaching does not reliably give enough attention to developing pupils’ accurate spelling and punctuation. Leaders were also asked to improve the quality of teachers’ questioning and ensure that lessons are suitably challenging so that pupils concentrate well on their work. Teachers’ secure subject knowledge enables them to use questioning effectively to check pupils’ understanding and address any misconceptions, most of the time. Occasionally, teachers’ questioning is not matched well enough to pupils’ learning needs and this slows their progress. The development of subject leadership was also identified as an area for improvement. Since becoming headteacher, you have successfully strengthened both senior and middle leadership and created a new team of increasingly effective subject leaders. Capable senior leaders provide helpful support and training to colleagues new to subject leadership. This work is still at an early stage of development; however, subject leaders have made a promising start in leading their areas of responsibility. For example, the introduction of new approaches to teaching mathematics is effectively enhancing pupils’ problem-solving skills. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Your well-trained staff are vigilant and know how to report and record any concerns, when necessary. As a result, you make swift and detailed referrals to other professionals and agencies. Records are carefully maintained and requests for help are diligently followed up. Safeguarding policies and procedures have been conscientiously updated to reflect the government’s most recent guidance. Governors also keep up to date with their safeguarding training and visit the school to carry out helpful safeguarding audits of the school’s provision. All pupils spoken to said that they feel happy and safe at school. They understand how to keep themselves safe when they are online. Older pupils confidently explained that not all information found on the internet is factually accurate. Pupils said that bullying does happen occasionally, but it is dealt with effectively by staff. Pupils feel that their views matter to staff and that they can easily talk to an adult in school if they have any worries or concerns.
