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

Lister Juniors is a welcoming and happy school. Teachers expect all pupils to achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are eager to learn and they work hard in lessons. Pupils feel well cared for and safe at school. Pupils from different backgrounds get on well with each other. They behave well in lessons and during breaktimes. Pupils who spoke with the inspector said that if bullying were to happen, staff would deal it with quickly and effectively. Pupils take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, such as sports and visits to museums and residential outdoor centres. They recently enjoyed a forensic science workshop and a visit by a Tyrannosaurus-rex dinosaur. Pupils have won competitions in performing arts and water polo. Older pupils love taking on positions of responsibility, such as supporting younger pupils with their reading. Many parents and carers are very positive about the work of the staff and the support that their children receive. A typical comment was, ‘The nurturing care provided by the school is second to none. My child is encouraged and supported to do well.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Leaders and governors are ambitious for all pupils. Pupils learn the full range of national curriculum subjects. Staff organise a range of visitors and workshops to enhance pupils’ learning. Leaders have thought carefully about the knowledge that they want pupils to learn in many subjects. This helps teachers to know what should be taught and when. Teachers provide opportunities for pupils to revisit what they have learned. This contributes to pupils’ strong achievement. However, in some subjects, the curriculum lacks clarity about the important content that leaders want pupils to learn. This means that some pupils are not developing the building blocks of knowledge that they need as they move through the school. Leaders have established ways to check what pupils know and can do in some subjects, such as mathematics and English. However, in some other subjects, teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning are not as effective. They do not give teachers enough information to help plan for future learning. This means that, in a small number of subjects, pupils’ learning does not build on what they already know. Leaders have prioritised reading, so that pupils who enter Year 3 without a secure knowledge of phonics are helped to catch up quickly. Teachers are well trained in helping pupils to know the sounds that letters represent. Pupils deepen their knowledge by reading books that match the sounds that they know. Leaders have introduced highquality texts that help pupils to develop their comprehension skills well. Pupils said that they enjoy reading and they read daily in school. By the time they leave Year 6, pupils are confident and fluent readers. Pupils with SEND are supported well. They have their needs identified quickly. Teachers adapt their teaching and use resources carefully to ensure that the needs of pupils with SEND are met. Leaders work effectively with a wide range of external agencies to support these pupils. Pupils with SEND have access to the full the curriculum and achieve well. Pupils are respectful towards each other and their teachers. Lessons are rarely disrupted by poor behaviour. Leaders place a high priority on supporting pupils’ mental health. There is a calm and orderly atmosphere in the school. Leaders help pupils to become active and responsible citizens. For example, useful links with a local organisation are raising pupils’ awareness of sustainability issues. Pupils have the opportunity to learn about different cultures and religions through visits to different places of worship. This helps them to develop tolerance of others. Governors know the strengths and areas to develop in the school. They support and challenge leaders effectively. For example, they have worked with leaders to improve the security of the site. Staff are proud to work at the school. They said that leaders are considerate of their workload. Staff work together as a team. They appreciate the training that they receive to develop their subject knowledge.
