The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

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.

Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have assessed the progress made towards the areas for improvement found at the last inspection. Your evaluation of the school’s current performance is accurate. You identified what actions you need to take to secure further and continuous improvement. You recognise that there are still areas that need development to ensure that the best practice you would like to see is consistent across the school. You have been helped in this work by advice from the Severn Teaching School Alliance, the school’s external consultant and representatives from the local authority. This has been against a background of major changes for the school over the last few years. At the last inspection, there were 100 pupils in the school. Since then, numbers have increased to the current total of 132 pupils. New pupils coming into school also present with a far wider range of special educational needs (SEN). This has led to redesignation of the school to reflect the more complex needs that you now have to meet. The school population has outgrown the capacity of the building to accommodate the number of pupils. While you wait for approval for the proposed extension, one group of pupils has to be housed in a separate building on the site of another school in Dawley.
