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. The spirit of Loscoe Primary School is captured in its motto, ‘Believe, Challenge, Achieve’. This small school prides itself on nurturing a close family atmosphere. Pupils are well known as individuals and the school takes care to support their academic and pastoral development. The school is a happy and harmonious community. All staff work together to provide the very best for every pupil. As a result, pupils are ambitious, keen and confident learners. You, and the head of school, are committed to continued improvement in order to build on the school’s success. You have successfully tackled the areas for improvement from the last inspection. For example, pupils take great pride in their work and in their school. Pupils’ workbooks are neat and tidy. Pupils play their part in ensuring that the school site is tidy, clean and litter free. You were able to explain clearly to me the many strengths of the school, as well as the areas that still need to be developed. You have evaluated the school accurately. We agreed, however, that the school’s written plans for improvement are not sharp enough. Teachers create a positive climate for learning. Relationships between adults and pupils are extremely good. Over time, the consistently good quality of teaching has resulted in good progress and achievement. Pupils enjoy well-planned and interesting lessons. The curriculum is thoughtfully enhanced through a range of visitors, as well as a programme of visits. This successfully brings topics alive for pupils and extends their experiences beyond their own local community. Pupils are passionate about sport. They take part in a wide range of sports, both in school and competitively. The school’s good work in this area leads to high levels of success at local, regional and national levels. Despite this, over the past three years, the proportion of pupils achieving the expected standard in the national phonics screening check at the end of Year 1 and Year 2 has been below the national average. As a result, some pupils currently in Years 3 or 4 have gaps in their phonic knowledge. The leaders of early years have ensured that the provision has improved and secured better outcomes for children. For example, in the Reception class, the learning environment is thoughtfully organised. Children are provided with exciting learning opportunities which capture their curiosity and natural instincts to learn. A sharp focus on developing children’s early reading and writing skills is paying dividends. In 2017, the proportion of children reaching a good level of development was above the national average for the first time in three years. Pupils are polite and respectful. In the playground at break- and lunchtimes, pupils’ behaviour is calm and considerate. In lessons, pupils sustain good concentration and try hard with their work. Their notable conduct reflects the school’s strong Christian ethos and effective strategies to promote high standards of behaviour. Parents and carers are unanimously positive about the school. They hold you and the head of school in high regard. They praised the approachability and dedication of staff. One parent reflected the views of many, saying, ‘It is a brilliant school and the staff are 100% dedicated to the school and its pupils’. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. A strong culture of safeguarding is at the heart of the school’s work. All required recruitment checks are made to ensure that staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children. You ensure that staff receive the necessary safeguarding training, including training relating to protecting pupils from extremism and radicalisation. All staff are highly vigilant. They are aware of the actions they need to take if they think a child protection issue has arisen. Pupils are taught effectively about everyday risks and how to manage these in a sensible way. Pupils say that they feel extremely safe because of the strong family ethos where older pupils look out for younger ones. Pupils are taught effectively about how to keep themselves safe when they are using the internet and know the immediate actions to take if they view anything that causes them concern. Parents have every confidence that the safety and well-being of their children are paramount at Loscoe Primary.
