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 the last inspection, you were appointed as headteacher, in September 2017, and there is a new chair of the governing body. You, school leaders and governors are ambitious for the school and are proud of what is offered to your pupils. You demonstrate a commitment to continual improvement and your values, ‘fruits of Milverton’, help to develop pupils as individuals. Pupils link these ‘fruits’ to British values and explain confidently how these help them to be better people and citizens. Your emphasis on the school’s values means that pupils treat each other with respect. Pupils’ conduct and manners in lessons and around the school were exemplary. Pupils also reported it was ‘okay to be different’ here. Integral to the school’s ethos is your passion for an exciting curriculum, enhanced by a focus on six ‘super learning skills’. For example, ‘Ernie the Enquiring Eagle’ is a character who encourages pupils to deepen their knowledge through questioning. These skills are developed through a carefully planned curriculum that includes numerous special activities, visitors and enrichment opportunities. Pupils praised the forest school for its fun approach and identified how trips to such places as Compton Verney, the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum and Marle Hall residential centre developed their learning. Pupils value the support and warmth offered by teachers and feel confident they can approach any adult for help and support. One pupil commented: ‘This is a unique school – teachers are really encouraging and always help you.’ Another reflected: ‘I’m proud to be here.’ Pupils also valued opportunities for additional responsibilities and they talked about school councillors who raised money for Red Nose Day, learning councillors and house captains. All parents spoken to on the playground, and the majority of responses to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, expressed positive views about the school. One parent stated: ‘The school cares about the emotional and personal development of their children as much as their academic journey.’ The overwhelming majority of parents agreed that their children were safe and happy in school. Governors have talked to pupils, met with subject leaders and received presentations from a range of leaders. As a result, they are knowledgeable about the current position of the school. Governors’ ability to provide effective challenge for leaders is enhanced through the range of training they attend and the skills audits they have used to review their own expertise. You work effectively with other leaders to analyse the school’s performance and implement improvement initiatives. Assessment information and test data are used well to identify and close gaps that pupils may have in their learning. You undertake regular checks on the quality of teaching and learning to ensure that staff address any areas previously identified through feedback. Due to this effective monitoring and evaluation, you have correctly identified the school’s next improvement priorities. Although your improvement planning sets appropriate end-of-year achievement targets, the measurable outcomes are not precise enough to assess the effectiveness of actions throughout the year. You have addressed the previous inspection report’s areas for improvement. Effective curriculum planning by the subject leader for mathematics means pupils are able to practise their skills in mathematics across a range of subjects. Leaders have also improved the standards of presentation of work across subjects, including mathematics, through the shared expectations of ‘Percy Pea’ that are on display in classrooms. The final area of improvement from the previous inspection led to the introduction of initiatives such as the bronze, silver and gold differentiation strategy. This ensures that pupils, including the most able, now attempt work that better meets their needs, and, as a result, make better progress. However, not all teachers start the most able pupils at the higher levels of challenge, which means they make less progress. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Staff receive statutory updates and regular training on the latest safeguarding requirements. Recent training has included keeping pupils safe from the influence of radical or extreme views. All staff spoken to knew how to respond to any safeguarding issues that they may come across.
