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 of their school. They are polite and cheerful. Pupils are self-assured and they welcome and speak with visitors confidently. Pupils feel safe because they know that their teachers care for them. Positive relationships exist between staff and pupils and among pupils. Pupils value the support they receive from the staff. Leaders, governors and staff have high expectations. They want every pupil to do their very best. As a result, pupils achieve well in English, mathematics and science. However, this is not the case in other subjects. There is a calm atmosphere around the school. Behaviour on the playground and in the dining room and corridors is good. Pupils get along well with each other and they value friendship. Behaviour in lessons is nearly always positive. Occasionally, a small number of pupils do not always listen well and focus on their work. Pupils told the inspectors that there is very little bullying at the school. They say that when it does happen, staff deal with it straight away. Pupils say, ‘It is fun to be a pupil in this school, it is not a hardship – it is just nice to be here!’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? In English, mathematics and science, the curriculum is largely well planned. Teachers are clear about what most pupils need to learn in each term. This helps teachers to plan lessons that broadly build on what pupils have learned before. Most pupils achieve well in these subjects and there are ongoing improvements. However, teachers do not always set work that is matched to pupils’ ability. Sometimes, the most able pupils find the work too easy, especially in mathematics. In other subjects, the sequence of lessons is not well planned. Teachers are unclear about the knowledge and skills pupils need to learn. Lessons are not well connected and do not build on pupils’ previous learning. Teachers have to backtrack and fill gaps in pupils’ knowledge. Pupils do not achieve well in these subjects. When children join the pre-school and Reception class, they are ready to learn. This is because the school works closely with families, even before their children start school. Relationships between the staff and children are positive. Children feel safe and happy because staff are encouraging and helpful. Children play confidently and nicely with their friends, taking turns and sharing. The indoor and outdoor areas are colourful, stimulating and well resourced. Children learn lots of exciting new things due to effective teaching. Activities build on what children already know. Adults develop children’s language skills effectively at every opportunity. Pupils read fluently and with expression from an early age. Most pupils love to read. They enjoy sharing stories with each other and with their teachers. Staff teach Inspection report: Binley Woods Primary School 18–19 September 2019 2 phonics well and provide extra help for those pupils who fall behind. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do well. They are fully included in all lessons. Staff are well trained and help pupils with SEND to become independent learners. They provide extra support when required. Pupils listen to their teachers, follow instructions and complete the work set. In most lessons, pupils’ positive behaviour allows learning to happen. Consequently, pupils improve their knowledge and skills. However, at times, occasional low-level disruption interrupts learning. In part, this is because a small number of pupils find the work either too easy or too difficult. Pupils speak confidently about the school’s ‘GROW’ values. Pupils learn about healthy eating and exercise from an early age. Older pupils understand how to keep themselves safe online. They have a clear understanding of how our country is governed and the importance of rules. Pupils are very accepting of each other. They have a good understanding of different cultures and religions. Pupils say, ‘It is good to be different, it would be boring if we were all the same.’ The governing body knows the school well. Governors are aware of the school’s strengths and the areas of weakness. They support and challenge the headteacher to bring about improvements. The headteacher and key staff have led improvements in English, mathematics and science. However, other subject leaders do not have the knowledge and skills they need to develop their subjects. All staff said that leaders consider their workload and well-being. They also value the range of training and support they receive. Most parents and carers speak positively about the school. The vast majority of them would recommend the school to other parents. Leaders seek the views of parents on a regular basis.
