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 joining the school in 2014, you have provided dedicated leadership and, together with governors, developed a highly inclusive school. Staff provide good care and support to pupils. The specialist provision for deaf children is a strong feature of the school, because the deaf pupils are integrated well into the main school. All pupils benefit from working closely with each other. For example, mainstream pupils have the opportunity to learn sign language so that they improve their communication skills with deaf pupils. Leaders and governors have taken effective action to address the areas for development identified at the time of the last inspection. These areas were to improve teaching further and provide more opportunities for pupils to practise writing skills across the curriculum. While there have been a number of changes in teaching staff since the last inspection, teaching has remained good. Some parents raised concerns about the high turnover of teachers recently. Nevertheless, through robust performance management and supportive training opportunities, teachers, including new members of staff, have honed their skills, and teaching meets pupils’ needs well. Leaders recognise the need to communicate with parents more effectively, so that these concerns are alleviated.

“Happy families”

"> I am really pleased with this school, both my children are happy here. I love the fact that each year group is separate. I feel it helps with their learning. The teachers are approachable and always around if you need a quick word – they go out of their way to help children settle in and be happy and safe. The Christian values are outstanding in my opinion. My children look forward to daily worship: they love singing and especially learning BSL signing from Reception to year 6. There's lots of outdoor space for outdoor learning and PE, they have sports coaches who are so friendly and caring who love playing games with them each week. It's also nice having Aspire Coaches offer to come in on INSET days so that those of us who work know our children are happy and having fun. To top it off, the Head Teacher, Mrs Oborn, is lovely. She goes out of her way to support and care for her school and everyone in it . She always makes time to see you. The children love going into show her their learning and her door is always open. I would highly recommend this school.
