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

Everyone knows and cares for each other in this small, nurturing school. There is a strong sense of community. Pupils feel safe and happy. They treat each other with respect and kindness. The school’s values, ‘Friendship Frog, Respectful Rabbit, Perseverance Panda and Truthful Tiger’, are an important part of daily life. These are regularly celebrated and rewarded when pupils demonstrate them. Staff have high expectations of behaviour. Incidents of poor behaviour are unheard of. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They are motivated, try hard and are keen to do their best. Pupils regularly praise each other when they do well. Playtimes are cheerful occasions where pupils have fun. Pupils feel included and valued. They enjoy playing games with their friends. Pupils understand what bullying is and say that it is not a problem for them at school. They trust staff and know that they will help them should they have a worry. One pupil said, ‘Teachers always do something about our worries. They are helpful and kind.’ Parents and carers are highly appreciative of the school. One parent echoed the thoughts of many by saying, ‘This is an amazing school that puts its pupils at the heart of everything it does.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Leaders have designed an ambitious and broad curriculum. In subjects such as English and mathematics the curriculum is well defined. However, not all other subjects are planned as precisely yet. Leaders are rightly focusing their efforts to address this quickly. Pupils achieve well in English and mathematics, but their achievement is not as consistently strong in all other subjects. Reading sits at the heart of the school’s curriculum. Classrooms have interesting ‘book corners’ to inspire pupils and instil a love of reading. Pupils look forward to listening to and reading stories every day. The teaching of early reading begins as soon as children start school. All staff are well trained to teach phonics. They articulate and model sounds clearly to pupils. Staff quickly spot when pupils fall behind and give extra help when it is needed. Books are matched to pupils’ reading skills well. This helps pupils to read accurately and become increasingly fluent and confident. Mathematics is taught effectively. The important knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which they should learn it are clearly set out. This helps teachers to know exactly what pupils need to learn and remember well. As a result, this is helping pupils to build up their mathematical knowledge and understanding. Staff receive high-quality training which helps them deliver lessons confidently. Lessons are lively and engaging. Teachers pose interesting questions and involve pupils in discussions. Pupils concentrate well and show very positive attitudes towards their learning. Staff skilfully support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They work hard to ensure that these pupils’ needs are met, and they are fully included in all aspects of school life. Leaders provide pupils with a diverse range of opportunities to broaden their horizons. Staff ensure that there is plenty to interest and inspire all pupils. Pupils’ knowledge of fundamental British values is strong. They speak knowledgeably about democracy and the rule of law. Leaders are determined that pupils should experience the trips and activities which have slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, pupils are excited and are looking forward to the staff Christmas pantomime. The leadership of the school has strong moral purpose. Leaders act with integrity. They ensure that staff are well supported. Staff enjoy working at the school. They feel valued and say that leaders consider their workload and well-being.
