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. Since then, the school has undergone some significant changes. The school joined The Howard Partnership Trust (THPT) in 2016. A new head of school was appointed in 2017. Staffing is secure and leadership capacity to drive further improvements is strong. This is a calm and happy school. School leaders’ vision to provide pupils with opportunities and experiences to build their resilience and instil in them a sense of responsibility for their actions lies at the heart of the school’s culture and ethos. The school’s motto to ‘develop the whole child’ ensures that pupils’ academic and pastoral needs are fully met. Pupils told me, ‘Everyone is valued at our school because we want to know you as a person. It doesn’t matter to us what you look like or where you come from.’ Parents appreciate the ‘warm and caring environment’ and how staff listen and ‘do all that is possible’ to help pupils overcome their problems. Provision for pupils who have special educational needs and /or disabilities (SEND) is highly effective. Additionally, pupils with SEND who have complex SEND needs receive expert teaching through the specialist centre, The Ark. It provides specialised bespoke support to enable these pupils to enjoy school and access appropriate learning. Pupils get on very well together. They told me that bullying is rare at the school and said that if they have disagreements with peers, staff assist in how to resolve them. They told me, ‘Our teachers help us think about how our behaviour affects others so that we change our behaviour without feeling bad about ourselves. This helps us become a stronger person.’ Pupils say that they enjoy lessons because teachers plan activities which help them show what they have learned. They use feedback from their teachers and peers to edit their work and improve their knowledge and understanding. Pupils told me, ‘When we explain what we know, we learn better.’ The vast majority of parents wholeheartedly praise the school’s work to support them and their children. Parents told me that they are pleased with the recent improvements in communication between school and home. They appreciate the wide choice of clubs offered and describe it as an ‘excellent’ opportunity to help their children develop interests and individual talents. Leaders closely monitor teaching, learning and assessment. They have put in place an assessment system to ensure that teachers identify and plan activities to address specific learning gaps. Staff use this well to provide pupils with support in lessons. School progress records show that pupils are on track to achieve well at the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. However, only some of the most able pupils achieve at the higher standard in writing, due to the lack of consistent challenge in some classes. The progress of disadvantaged pupils, although improving, needs to improve further to ensure that gaps in reading, writing and mathematics are closed. Pupils’ reading is a strength. Leaders have worked hard to ensure that pupils read widely and often. Parents and pupils were overwhelmingly positive about the strong reading culture that now exists at the school. Staff share quality texts to inspire pupils’ writing and make sure that activities have a specific purpose. During the inspection, I observed Year 6 pupils confidently use ideas from their debate research to express their views on whether zoos should be banned. Safeguarding is effective. Senior leaders and governors have ensured that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Child protection records are detailed and of high quality. The designated safeguarding lead ensures that policies to prevent risks are implemented well. All staff receive appropriate child protection training and the focus on safeguarding is maintained through regular updates and briefings. As a result, staff are vigilant and intervene if pupils are at risk or there is a concern. Where intervention is required, leaders act promptly to ensure that relevant outside agencies are involved to work with pupils and their families to address their specific needs. Leaders are tenacious in following up issues, in collaboration with outside agencies, to secure positive outcomes.
