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. Together with governors you regularly check on the work of the school. The accuracy of these judgements is assured by leaders from other schools and the local authority. This information is used well to demonstrate how you have successfully tackled areas for improvement from the previous inspection and to plan further improvement priorities. Your new system to monitor pupils’ progress provides teachers with the information they need to plan work at the right level of difficulty for pupils. You encourage teachers to try out new ideas to further improve teaching and therefore raise achievement. Teachers explained how they routinely share ideas to develop their teaching skills, such as increasing the use of questions, which you were asked to improve in the previous inspection. You have successfully developed a supportive culture in which they say ‘it is not seen as a weakness to ask for help’. Teachers also willingly share their skills more widely, outside school, such as through providing support in effective phonics teaching for trainee teachers. One of the key lines of enquiry for this inspection was to find out if your actions to improve teaching, learning and assessment in the early years foundation stage made a difference to achievement in 2016 and if these improvements are continuing. Your plans to start nursery provision in September 2017 demonstrate your commitment to making sure all children get off to the same good start and inconsistencies seen in the wide range of pupils’ starting points, based on their previous experience of learning, are reduced. I also wanted to find out about the actions you have taken to bring about the improvements seen in reading across the school and you wanted to show me how you are now bringing about similar improvements in writing. Although teaching in reading and mathematics have been consistent strengths of the school, writing has been less strong in the past. Attendance has been consistently above the national average for several years. A key line of enquiry was therefore to find out why it is that pupils like coming to this school and if this trend continues. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have successfully created a culture of safeguarding in school in which all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are suitably detailed and of high quality. All staff, including governors, have completed safeguarding training to a minimum level and can explain the actions they would take if they had any concerns about a child. Staff understand their shared responsibility to keep children safe. Pupils are confident and have a good understanding of keeping themselves safe when meeting strangers, using computers and using roads and footpaths. This was confirmed by pupils, and parents are confident their children are safe at school. Pupils say there is no bullying in school. When pupils use ‘unkind words’ which are reported to an adult, teachers sort this out quickly and stop it from happening again. Pupils who have medical needs are exceptionally well supported at this school. Staff are trained appropriately in providing first aid and delivering emergency medication when required. These pupils are always included in every school trip or visit and detailed risk assessments for activities are included within their care plans. Parents appreciate this extra care provided for their children. Inspection findings Pupils like attending this school because of the support they receive and the rich variety of experiences available to them here. All staff at this small school know the pupils and their families exceptionally well and teachers make sure that work is adapted to meet the needs and interests of pupils in their care. Pupils have an appreciation of justice and explain well the importance of everyone upholding the school’s ‘golden rules’ to ensure fairness and equality for everyone. They have a good understanding of British values because they know about similarities between their pupil parliament and how debates are organised in the Houses of Parliament. You have made sure that all pupils experience a broad curriculum. Pupils can learn to play musical instruments such as percussion instruments, the ukulele and ocarina and all pupils learn to speak French. Pupils enjoy the many enrichment activities available, including their canoe day and visit to a local climbing wall. You have creatively solved the problem of a lack of space for physical education by arranging for pupils to use the nearby facilities in a local secondary school.
