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. This vibrant, happy and warm-hearted school, with its strong emphasis on fostering pupils’ excitement in learning, is a credit to you, your leadership team and staff. You and your team are passionately committed to infant education and believe wholeheartedly in getting children off to a flying start with their school life. You have responded thoughtfully and determinedly to the areas for improvement identified at the last inspection. There have been some challenges along the way with changes in staffing but, undaunted, you are able to demonstrate improvements in all areas. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. They feel involved in school life and enjoy hearing about what their children learn. Parents typically highlight the care their children receive from individual staff members, talking about how ‘caring’, ‘approachable’ and ‘inspirational’ staff are. Many parents appreciate the curriculum on offer, commenting on how it ‘is varied and exciting’, ‘ignites children’s imagination’ and ‘makes learning joyful’. A very small number of parents expressed concerns about communication from leaders in the school. However, these views were far from typical. Most parents value your regular communication and the nurture and individual attention their children receive. Pupils are enthusiastic learners who enjoy talking about their work, fully entering into the spirit of the well-planned topics and activities they are offered. They are purposeful, busy and productive, making a strong contribution to the school and their own learning. Pupils work and play happily together and you are right to be proud of the school’s inclusive values. Staff also enjoy working in the school and appreciate the teamwork approach. They are proud to be fully involved in improving the school and value the opportunity to be creative and take responsibility for developing meaningful learning activities. You are not complacent, however, and have rightly identified that the positive changes in provision for mathematics need to be fully consolidated across the whole school. You also have correctly identified that matching pupils’ fluency in spelling and punctuation with their growing vocabulary requires further work. Safeguarding is effective. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective and children are kept safe in the school. As designated safeguarding leader (DSL), you and your team of deputy DSLs have a good understanding of risks to children and your duties. You are compassionate and inclusive in your work with families and firmly keep children’s safety and welfare at the heart of your work. Staff have benefited from relevant and up-to-date training on how to identify potential risks of harm to pupils. Reporting of concerns is appropriately detailed and fit for purpose and includes follow-up actions. Leaders pursue decisions made by the other agencies that protect children in order to ensure that concerns are logged and extra support obtained. Pupils know who to speak to if they have worries and have benefited from external speakers to raise their awareness of how to keep themselves safe. A small number of vulnerable pupils whose persistent absence causes concern are tracked carefully. As a result of tenacious and sensitive work, individual pupils have improved their attendance, and their families are making good attendance at school a higher priority. During this inspection, I identified that some of the checks made on teachers working in the school were not recorded on the single central record. This administrative oversight was put right by the end of the inspection. Inspection findings During this inspection, we agreed to focus on the following areas: how effectively the most able pupils were being challenged to reach greater depth in mathematics and writing; the quality of provision for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND); the contribution the curriculum makes to pupils’ cultural and spiritual development; and improvements to the way in which governors oversee the performance of the school.
