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

Pupils are proud and happy. They are polite and respectful towards others. The school’s core values of aspiration, collaboration, optimism, resilience and nurturing underpin the culture of high expectations. Pupils behave, work well and do their best at all times. They uphold the motto, ‘together we learn for life.’ Pupils feel safe. They play well together and say there are lots of things for them to do. For instance, they enjoy using the playground equipment which helps them to keep fit and invent games. Playground ‘PALS’ are always on hand to help. Pupils say that there is no bullying in school because they use the school rules of ‘kind words, kind actions’. They are confident that staff will help them deal with minor worries and concerns. Pupils appreciate the range of clubs and after-school activities available to them. Additionally, they look forward to special trips, such as visits to the theatre. Parents and carers are positive and appreciate the recent changes leaders have introduced. They see these as a basis for a strong relationship between school and home. One parent summarised the views of many in saying, ‘Leaders have helped our school become a community.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Senior leaders and staff have restructured the curriculum. They have put planning in place to ensure that pupils learn the most important knowledge in the right order in most subjects. Teachers make sure that pupils use their previous work to help them learn and do more. For example, in science, pupils in Year 3 use increased vocabulary and understanding to describe and test materials. Leaders know that planning is not as well sequenced in all subjects. They have identified the need to further refine planning in some subjects such as history and modern foreign languages. Teachers expect the best from pupils. As a result, pupils are eager to do well. Teachers link subjects through a topic-based approach that pupils enjoy. Pupils told us that this helps them to connect ideas together. For example, in a Year 5 writing lesson, a pupil was able to apply their knowledge of Ancient China to describe the main character in their story accurately. Teachers use their subject knowledge to carefully check what pupils have understood. They use this information to plan and provide pupils with appropriate challenge and support. This helps pupils to secure their understanding and do well in their work. The teaching of early reading and phonics is a priority. The school has a wellplanned and systematic phonics programme. Staff are well trained. They are quick to support pupils who need additional help. Teachers read to pupils every day. Daily Inspection report: Hamsey Green Primary 5–6 February 2020 2 reading activities help pupils to revise and hone their skills. This means they are able to understand the meaning of complex texts. However, some reading books do not provide opportunities for pupils to practise the sounds they have been taught. This means that some pupils do not learn to read as quickly. Children in early years enjoy a range of exciting activities that develop their language, literacy and mathematical skills well. Staff plan and provide interesting learning activities that motivate children to learn about the world around them. For instance, children were able to name and use a range of shapes to help them design terraced and semi-detached houses. Parents are regularly kept informed of their child’s progress and this strengthens children’s learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive valuable support. Knowledgeable staff make sure that individual targets are well planned. They are adept at making sure resources support learning in the curriculum. Pupils with SEND do well in their work. Pupils’ personal development is a strength of the school. Pupils learn about worldwide events and consider the wider impact of their actions. For instance, pupils told us about the effect of global warming on the Australian bushfires. Additionally, events such as ‘enterprise challenges’, supported by local businesses, increase pupils’ resilience. These provide pupils with opportunities to fund-raise by making and selling products at the school fair. Leaders, including trustees and governors, know the school well. They work together to improve the quality of education that pupils receive. They regularly review their work by seeking outside views and support. Staff are unanimously proud to work at Hamsey Green. They feel supported and value leaders’ efforts to take their workload into account.
