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 previous inspection. After a period of change and uncertainty, which affected its effectiveness, the school is now good and improving once again. There have been a number of leadership changes since the previous inspection. The school’s long-standing headteacher retired in July 2016 and the well-established deputy took over as headteacher in September 2016. She resigned her post and left the school in December 2017. You joined the school at the beginning of this term and have spent a matter of weeks in post. However, you are an experienced headteacher and you have already developed an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. You have very quickly established good working relationships with pupils, staff, governors and the local authority. You know that there is more to do, particularly around reading and attendance, but you have made a very positive start. You are ably assisted by the deputy headteacher who, although relatively new to her role, has worked at the school for many years and has a wealth of knowledge about its past development to contribute to your partnership. Nazeing is a happy school that pupils enjoy attending. Leaders and governors have ensured that the school’s welcoming atmosphere has been maintained even through periods of change. Pupils behave very well in their classrooms and show interest and enjoyment in their work. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive and this helps to ensure that pupils like coming to school, behave well and do their best. Most parents are happy with the school. Of those that responded to Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire, a very large majority said that they would recommend the school to others. A small number of parents expressed concerns about the school, saying that changes of leadership in recent years have had an impact on the effectiveness of the school. Several parents commented positively that they can already see that ‘the school has changed for the better’ since you took over at the beginning of January, and that, ‘Miss Pomfret fills me with confidence that my child will continue to be cared for and be safe and very well educated at Nazeing School.’ Leaders and governors have taken effective action to tackle the areas for improvement identified by the previous inspection, although there is still work to do. The previous inspection asked leaders to ‘make more teaching outstanding and raise achievement, particularly for more-able pupils’. Some of the teaching in the school is now very strong and, where this is the case, pupils achieve very well. However, a small amount of teaching is less strong and outcomes are weaker accordingly. The previous inspection also asked leaders to strengthen assessment in the Reception classes. The two classes now work much more closely together, comparing assessments and analysing data together. The deputy headteacher described assessment in the Reception Year as having ‘come on in leaps and bounds’. The improvements in the early years are seen clearly in the rising trend in the proportion of children that achieve a good level of development by the end of the Reception Year. Safeguarding is effective. You very sensibly made safeguarding your top priority when you took up your post. Together with the deputy headteacher, you carried out an audit of the school’s child protection files to ensure that they are complete and up to date. As a result, the files are of good quality and well maintained. You have a very good understanding of the role of designated safeguarding lead. School records show clearly that leaders take timely and appropriate action to protect children when necessary. Pupils feel safe at school. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong and this helps to keep pupils safe. All parents who responded to Parent View said that they feel that their children are safe at school. Pupils have been taught about bullying and know that they should tell an adult if it happens to them or to someone else. They have been taught the acronym ‘STOP’ to help them remember that bullying is something that happens ‘several times, on purpose’. Pupils say that bullying does not happen very often and that staff usually sort things out quickly when it does.
