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

Crossley Hall Primary School is much larger than most primary schools. The number of pupils at the school has increased significantly since the last inspection and there are now three classes in each year group. Since the previous inspection, all senior leaders, with the exception of the headteacher, are new to the school or new to their role. A significant number of teachers have also joined the school. The governing body has reconstituted since the previous inspection and there are several new members. Following a positive response to a consultation about the school becoming an academy, the governors are currently considering which multi-academy trust to join. The majority of pupils are of Pakistani heritage. There is a small proportion of pupils from a range of different backgrounds, including White British. There is an increasing proportion of pupils joining the school who have newly arrived from Eastern Europe and other countries. A high proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language and an increasing number of pupils are new to the English language. There is an above-average proportion of pupils who are disadvantaged and for whom the school receives the pupil premium. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or looked after by the local authority. The proportion of pupils who need support for special educational needs or disability is lower than average, as is the number of pupils who have education, health and care plans. Since the previous inspection, the early years provision has moved into a new building on the school site. This building was extended and provision for two-year-olds was opened in May 2015. The children attend for 15 hours a week, spread over three or five days. Nursery classes provide part-time education and children move to full time in the Reception class. The school runs a daily breakfast club and a range of after-school clubs. The school is an active member of a local area partnership of schools called ‘Exceed’. The partnership provides professional development opportunities and research opportunities for staff. The school meets the government’s floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. Inspection report: Crossley Hall Primary School, 26–27 April 2016 6 of 8 Information about this inspection Inspectors visited all classes at least once, for varying lengths of times. During these visits, they talked with pupils and reviewed the work in their books. Six of the visits were made jointly with members of the senior leadership team. Inspectors and senior leaders jointly reviewed the school’s assessment information and compared it with the work in pupils’ books. Inspectors considered a range of school documents and records, including those relating to safeguarding and leaders’ records of their checks on the effectiveness of teaching. Meetings were held with senior leaders, middle leaders, newly qualified teachers, teaching assistants and the chair and vice-chair of the governing body. A discussion was held with a representative of the local authority. Pupils’ views were taken into account, through informal discussions with pupils at lunch, playtime and during lessons, and in three separate meetings with pupils from all year groups. No pupils completed Ofsted’s online survey. Inspectors considered the views of staff during meetings and also took into account the 21 responses to Ofsted’s online survey for staff. Parents’ views were considered through face-to-face discussions with a number of parents as they dropped their children at school, one telephone call and seven free text responses to Parent View (Ofsted’s online survey for parents), as well as the school’s own surveys of parents’ views.
