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

Knuzden St Oswald’s is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The large majority of pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is below the national average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is just below the national average. The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. In 2016, the school did not meet the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. However, it has met them in previous years. Inspection report: Knuzden St Oswald’s CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School, 15–16 November 2017 Page 12 of 14 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed learning in all classes. They observed pupils’ behaviour in classrooms and assessed the school’s promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. They also observed pupils at playtime and during lunchtimes. The inspectors looked at the work in pupils’ books, including the books of children in the early years. An inspector listened to a small number of pupils read. Inspectors held meetings with the headteacher, the assistant headteachers, the SEN coordinator and the early years leader. They also met with the staff responsible for safeguarding and attendance and a group of middle leaders. An inspector met with five members of the governing body, including the chair. A meeting was also held with a representative of the local authority and diocese. A group of pupils discussed their opinions about the school and their learning with an inspector and inspectors also spoke informally with pupils at playtimes and around the school. Inspectors took account of six responses to a staff questionnaire and talked to staff during the inspection to take account of their views. An inspector also met with a group of eight support assistants. They also took account of 16 responses to the online Ofsted questionnaire, Parent View, and talked briefly with 17 parents before school. The inspectors observed the school’s work and looked at a number of documents, including information on pupils’ attainment and progress, the school’s evaluation of its own performance and its development plan, records of checks on the quality of teaching and the school’s curriculum planning documents. Behaviour and attendance records and information relating to safeguarding were also scrutinised.
