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 school is larger than the average-sized primary school. The proportion of pupils who are disadvantaged and supported by pupil premium funding is much higher than the national average. Most pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is below the national average. The proportion of pupils with SEND is higher than the national average and the proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care plan is similar to the national average. The current headteacher has been in post since the school opened in 2006. The most recent full inspection of the school was in September 2012. A short inspection of the school took place in March 2018. This inspection judged that the school remained good and that there was evidence of significant improvement. The school runs a breakfast and after-school club. Inspection report: Kings Oak Primary Learning Centre, 20–21 March 2019 Page 11 of 13 Information about this inspection The inspection team observed teaching and learning across all year groups. Inspectors held meetings with the headteacher, governors and school staff, including senior and middle leaders, and met with a representative from the local authority. The inspection team observed the school’s work and looked at pupils’ workbooks, information on pupils’ attainment and progress, curriculum planning and records of behaviour and safety. Inspectors also looked at the minutes of governing body meetings, safeguarding documents, including mandatory checks made on the recruitment of new staff, and the school’s website. Discussions were held with pupils in key stages 1 and 2, and informal conversations took place during lessons. The inspection team listened to pupils read and talked to them about the books they enjoy. Inspectors took account of the 23 responses to Ofsted’s online parental questionnaire, Parent View, and the four free-text responses. In addition, inspectors spoke with parents informally at the start of the school day. Inspectors took account of the 17 responses to the staff questionnaire.
