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. Staff at all levels work effectively together for the benefit of the pupils. You, supported ably by your leadership team, have established an expectation that everyone is accountable for the difference their actions make. Your staff value and make good use of the supportive opportunities to develop their practice. Consequently, your school is a happy place which continues to improve and where people are proud to work. Pupils enjoy coming to your school. At this early stage in the school year, even the most recent arrivals to the early years foundation stage have settled in quickly. Routines and expectations are established and the environment is engaging and stimulating. A consistent approach to, and focus on, learning is apparent across the school. Parents recognise and appreciate the rich opportunities for their children to participate in clubs and activities that complement their learning well. One parent reflected the views of many when commenting: ‘Staff have supported my children wholeheartedly in their educational journey. My children are very happy and absolutely love learning. The school has instilled a passion and an ethos to try your best, recognise achievement and be kind.’ You and your team strive to keep improving the school. Together, you have addressed successfully the areas identified for improvement at the last inspection. Effective systems now help leaders at all levels to identify and implement next steps to improve pupils’ achievement and attendance. Useful staff training has developed how effectively mathematics is taught, with pupils’ outcomes improving over time across the school. You recognise that there is further work to do, so that pupils’ progress becomes more rapid across key stage 2, especially in writing, as you continue building on the improvements that are evident in key stage 1. In particular, those pupils who achieve highly during the early years foundation stage and key stage 1 could make even better progress during key stage 2. Safeguarding is effective. The school adopts a meticulous approach to safeguarding. Staff and governors, aided by useful training, understand clearly their responsibilities for pupils’ safety and welfare, and carry them out with care and diligence. Their work is supported well by effective systems, and staff keep suitably detailed records. Where appropriate, leaders seek advice from experts beyond the school to support individual children and families who may need extra help. Governors make regular checks on safeguarding policies and practice, and ensure that staff recruitment processes are fit for purpose. Pupils report that they feel safe. They understand how to keep themselves safe in an age-appropriate way. They are confident that adults will help them with any worries they may have. Pupils come to school regularly, and their collective attendance is routinely above the national average. Leaders have put effective support in place to encourage pupils, particularly those who are potentially vulnerable, to improve their attendance. As a result, the proportion of pupils who are persistently absent from school is well below national figures and continues to decrease over time. Inspection findings During the inspection, we focused on how well leaders and governors check the difference their actions are making. We considered how effectively teaching is helping pupils to achieve well and make good progress, particularly in writing. We reviewed how successfully additional funding is used to support pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, and how leaders ensure that all pupils, particularly boys, are prepared sufficiently for key stage 1 learning. Leaders throughout the school monitor closely how well pupils are learning. They have regular and challenging conversations with staff to identify promptly any pupils who may need extra help to accelerate their progress. Staff use information increasingly well to check pupils’ progress, and adapt their plans for future learning accordingly. As a result, pupils’ progress across a range of subjects is accelerating. Governors understand their responsibilities and bring suitable skills and experience to their roles. Useful systems help them to check regularly how well pupils, particularly the disadvantaged and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, are achieving. Governors visit the school regularly to check what leaders tell them about standards in the school. They recognise that, at this early stage in the term, some information required on the website is not up to date.
