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 to attend Caistor Grammar School. They thoroughly enjoy their lessons and become independent learners. Students in the sixth form speak highly of the bespoke support that they receive. Teachers have high expectations of all pupils. They want everyone to experience academic success. Leaders want pupils to become well-rounded individuals. They prioritise pupils’ wider development. One pupil summed this up by saying, ‘It’s not just about the academic, they look after our emotional health and well-being’. Leaders have established an inclusive ethos. Pupils feel safe and happy. Pupils are kind and respectful to each other. They know what bullying is and that they should report any form of bullying or derogatory language. Pupils have confidence that teachers deal with any incidents fairly and swiftly. Many parents and carers hold the school in high esteem. As one parent put it: ‘I couldn’t have asked for a better school for my child; so much support from staff both in the classroom and through the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils. It has a focus on academic subjects. All pupils study English, mathematics, science, a modern foreign language and at least one humanities subject into key stage 4. In many subjects, such as religious education, the curriculum is well sequenced so that pupils build on what they learned before. Pupils are highly articulate. They use subject-specific language and ways of interpreting information. In most subjects, leaders have identified the concepts they want pupils to know by the end of key stage 3. This is to ensure that if a pupil does not choose to study this subject in key stage 4, they have the necessary knowledge to pick it up at a later stage. In a few subjects, pupils do not recall these concepts well enough. Some subject leaders have not identified the important knowledge that pupils need to know. Most teachers’ subject knowledge is secure. They present information clearly and choose activities that help pupils learn. However, this is not always the case. Most teachers use assessment well to check what pupils know and remember. There are still occasions when teachers do not match assessment to what pupils are learning precisely enough. Some teachers do not address gaps in pupils’ knowledge when it is identified through assessment.
