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. You lead by example and have built up a strong leadership team. This is a learning community where staff are encouraged to undertake research projects in areas of interest. They put into practice any new learning that emerges from their research. Staff are reflective about the way in which they teach. They are trusted to take risks and try out new methods to suit the needs of the pupils they teach. Continued professional development has a high profile in the school, including mentoring and coaching for those new to their roles. At the last inspection, your predecessor was asked to increase the level of challenge for the most able pupils in mathematics and to provide them with clearer guidance on how to improve their work. There is increased challenge in lessons, particularly in mathematics. Here, pupils choose their level of challenge through the „chilli challenge‟ where the level of difficulty of different tasks is signalled by the number of chillies. There is greater focus on tasks that extend thinking, where pupils are increasingly challenged to explain their reasoning. In 2017, at the end of Year 6, the most able pupils performed better than the most able pupils nationally, not only in mathematics but also in reading and writing. Governance is highly effective. Governors understand their roles and responsibilities, linked to the strengths that they bring to the governing body. Governors take an active part in school life. They are very proactive in ensuring that all statutory requirements are met, including safeguarding, with regular spot checks. They ensure that pupil premium funding is used effectively and check on the impact of additional support. Governors provide both support and challenge to leaders, not only through their monitoring visits to the school but also through governing body meetings. Parents and carers are generally very positive about the school. One parent, described how her child had „developed into a person with resilience, a “can do” attitude, a determination and a keenness to be the best she can be.‟ Parents value their involvement in the parent forum meetings. They feel that these meetings give them a voice, so that not only are their views taken into account but the meetings also provide a platform for them to be involved in new school initiatives. Pupils value the seven learning powers which encourage them to have a positive attitude to learning within the classroom by developing their confidence They describe how „We get merit points if we show learning powers‟, and they value being awarded the „learning champ‟ in lessons. They talk confidently about challenging themselves within lessons based on being in the „safety, stretchy or danger zones‟. Pupils are very courteous and polite. They look out for each other and enjoy extra responsibilities, such as sports captains, house captains or through helping at lunchtimes by organising games. Support from the local authority through the Hertfordshire Improvement Partner programme has provided challenge to leaders and a useful external view of the school. Safeguarding is effective. This is a caring school, where the well-being of pupils matters and where there is an ethos within which pupils feel „safe, respected and ready to learn‟. Pupils have a good understanding of what bullying is and its many forms. They say that incidents of potential bullying are rare. They are confident that adults will always investigate through the „roots and fruits‟ process to find out why it is happening as well as resolving any issues. You have ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. There are clear systems in place to ensure the safe recruitment of staff, including checks on their appointment to the school. Through induction, all staff are made aware of the school‟s policies and procedures to report any concerns that they may have regarding the safeguarding of pupils. Records are well kept so that leaders have an overview of any child protection or behaviour concerns. This enables them to take appropriate and prompt action. Training is thorough and revisited so that the culture of safeguarding has a high priority. This is promoted through visual prompts, „be safe, ready and respect‟, and the expectation that it is everybody‟s responsibility to look after pupils within the school. The school has been active in adding safety glass, new fire doors and an updated alarm system following the recent local authority health and safety audit. Regular site walks are completed so that any concerns can be quickly addressed.
