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. Since taking up your post at the start of this school year, you have quickly established positive relationships with staff and parents. You got to know the school over the previous two terms but have wisely avoided making quick, sweeping changes to any of the policies that have served the school well in recent years. However, from working alongside you throughout the day, it is clear that you already have an insight into areas where leadership and teaching can be developed to improve the school even further. All of the parents spoken to during the inspection, and the overwhelming majority of those who completed Parent View, were full of praise for your school. Time and again they used the term ‘family’ to express the quality of the relationships between the children of different ages and ethnicities. As one parent wrote: ‘The enthusiasm of the staff at Mayflower is unending. The staff clearly love the school and that rubs off on to the children, giving them a profound feeling of pride, ownership and respect for their place of learning. We love Mayflower.’ Your predecessor, and your senior teachers, deserve a great deal of the credit for ensuring that the school continues to serve its community so successfully. Many aspects of the curriculum are exceptional. Staff and pupils are rightly proud of the school’s international links, environmental activities, sporting achievements, involvement in local heritage projects and anti-bullying work. The school has won more awards than can be listed here. However, perhaps the unique experience of being a pupil at Mayflower can be illustrated by noting that it is ‘officially’ the funniest school in Leicester (Leicester Comedy Festival Loving Laughter Award) and is England’s regular representative in the annual Eurovision for Schools competition (Schoolovision). To sum up, your pupils, from 26 different ethnic groups, enjoy a fabulous curriculum that gives them a deep understanding of their own locality and of the wider world. At the time of the previous inspection, the pupils’ behaviour and personal development were highlighted as particular strengths of the school. These remain very positive outcomes. Pupils are proud of their school. They have a strong sense of community and the pupils from all the different ethnic groups play and learn happily together. The school’s leaders have tackled the areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection with some success. They track closely how well pupils are doing and are clear about the progress made by different groups. Pupils are well prepared for their secondary schools. Overall, they make good progress and typically leave the school with standards in reading, writing and mathematics at least in line with the national averages. However, in key stage 2, lower-attaining pupils typically make slower progress than other pupils nationally from the same starting points. You are aware of the importance of finding out, and tackling, the reasons for their relative underachievement. The previous report also asked the school’s middle leaders to contribute more to the school’s drive for improvement. There have been notable successes here. Middle leaders now have the skills to check how effectively pupils are learning in the areas for which they have responsibility. They check the quality of work in books and, each term, analyse how well pupils are learning against the expectations for their ages. Middle leaders use this information to draw up plans for improvement. However, these plans lack precise and measurable targets. This makes it difficult for others to check if the plans are having their intended impact on pupils’ learning. It also limits the ability of governors to judge if the school’s aspirations for pupils are sufficiently ambitious. There have been considerable changes to the composition of the governing body since the last inspection. The previous report recommended that governors receive training to enable them to compare the school’s performance with other schools nationally. Some, but not many governors, have received this training. This limits the ability of the governing body to identify areas where better progress should be prioritised and to hold leaders to account for achieving the desired improvements. Finally, the last report asked teachers to provide plenty of challenge in lessons for more-able pupils. This is particularly evident in pupils’ mathematics books and in their outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics. The proportions of pupils exceeding the expected standards in these areas have improved.
