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. An effective governing body, which has a sound knowledge of the strengths of the school and the areas that require further work, provides support and challenge. You are held in high regard by staff, governors and parents alike. Your determination to improve the quality of teaching and learning is clear. Your vision for the school has inspired and motivated your staff to drive forward improvements. You have created a cohesive team of staff who share a common purpose and work together to support pupils to achieve their best. You have clear and accurate plans for school improvement. You involve other staff and governors to help you identify the strengths and areas for development for the school. As a result, standards continue to rise. The school is a friendly, happy place and pupils enjoy coming to school. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and are proud of their school. Consequently, pupils’ attendance is very good. Classrooms are purposeful, positive learning environments where pupils work well. Pupils can explain clearly what they are learning and are determined to succeed. They help each other and speak politely to adults. Those I met told me they felt very well cared for and that their teachers help them with any difficulties they might experience. This includes dealing with incidences of bullying, although pupils said bullying is very rare. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the good leadership that you provide. Parents who spoke with me during the inspection felt listened to and that communication with parents is a strength. Parents are happy with the progress their children are making. They feel that pupils are treated as individuals and are well cared for. Every parent who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, would recommend the school to other parents. At the last inspection, inspectors asked the headteacher to involve all staff in monitoring and evaluating the work of the school. You have successfully addressed this area for improvement. You hold regular meetings with staff and governors to discuss the progress pupils are making. In addition, leaders were asked to ensure that teachers share good practice to improve pupils’ achievement. Senior leaders explained how the culture of the school enables and encourages teachers to talk openly about what is working well in their classrooms. Furthermore, teachers have a strong sense of their own professional development and welcome the opportunity to improve their practice. Leaders were also asked to make better use of assessment information to provide more challenge for pupils. You have implemented an effective assessment system that identifies accurately gaps in pupils’ learning. The system has been especially effective at helping teachers to raise standards in mathematics. However, you have recognised that there is still some work to do to ensure that all pupils are sufficiently challenged. This is particularly the case for the most able pupils. You recognised that achievement in mathematics needed to improve. You appointed a new mathematics leader who has received support from a local teaching school alliance. Teachers have received effective training and are clear how mathematics should be taught in Fiskerton. Observations of learning and work in pupils’ books show that the changes you have made in mathematics have had a positive impact on standards in this subject. Published data indicates that boys do not always reach the same standards as girls, from similar starting points. You and your team recognised this and consequently made some changes to the curriculum. However, you have acknowledged that the achievement of boys needs more closely monitoring to ensure that all boys make the progress of which they are capable. Boys have responded well to the introduction of an outdoor learning programme. Pupils who I spoke with told me how they enjoy the practical work they do outdoors. They were able to tell me how this work helped them to prepare for their writing tasks. In addition, your Year 6 teacher has found that encouraging boys to make use of voice recorders helps them to prepare for their writing.
