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. In the three years since you joined the school, the effective work of both you and your assistant headteachers has led the school securely through a journey of ongoing improvement. This is despite the challenges of managing major building projects, which have improved the quality and safety of the physical school environment and prepared it for planned future expansion. You identify the school’s strengths accurately, and demonstrate a helpfully pragmatic approach to tackling areas which need to improve. Governors, while currently depleted in numbers, know the school well, and reassure themselves about standards in the school by providing useful support and challenge to leaders about their work. Pupils and staff jointly describe the school as a happy place that they are proud to be a part of. Staff value greatly the open culture that supports their professional development. They work well together to share skills and expertise, and welcome opportunities to learn from training and through visiting colleagues in other schools. Staff understand the school’s priorities clearly, and are held closely to account for the difference their work is expected to make to pupils’ outcomes and their preparation for secondary school. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and well looked after, and say that their work challenges them appropriately. They interact confidently with each other and with adults in the school. Pupils appreciate how the school council provides opportunities for their voices to be heard, and are pleased when leaders act on their suggestions, such as by recently introducing ‘playground buddies’. These provide visible reassurance for pupils who go and sit on the new ‘friendship bench’, or who may seem sad or lonely. Pupils are rightly proud to be selected as a playground buddy, as a result of a carefully thought-out application process that develops their understanding of democracy. Parents and carers value the care and support that their children receive. Those who spoke to me or expressed their views through Parent View describe how positively the school’s ethos helps their children to feel safe and well cared for. The vast majority of parents felt that their children make good progress as a result of the quality of teaching they experience. A small number of parents said that they would value a more visible staff presence on the playground at the end of the day. They felt this would be reassuring for younger pupils and their parents, as well as supporting effective communication between home and school. Since the last inspection, you and your team have made successful improvements to the school. Staff describe the focused work your assistant headteachers have led on ensuring that teaching meets pupils’ different needs, so that they are challenged sufficiently. This was evident during the learning walks I carried out with your assistant headteachers, and in the quality of work seen in pupils’ books. As part of this drive, some thoughtful work by staff is improving how effectively pupils receive feedback about how to improve their work. Your leadership team recognises, however, that there is further work to do to ensure that more recent developments to the quality of teaching become embedded and sustained. This will enable the progress that pupils make in reading, writing and mathematics across key stage 2 to become consistently strong over time. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors understand their safeguarding responsibilities clearly. They ensure that all adults coming into school are vetted appropriately. Leaders provide effective support to adults in fulfilling their safeguarding duties, by making sure that policies and processes are fit for purpose and that adults are appropriately and regularly trained. This contributes to the culture of nurture and care that is evident across the school, and which parents recognise and appreciate. Staff feel confident to report any concerns they may have about a pupil. Leaders use effective systems to review this information efficiently, and take prompt action when necessary. The recently introduced behaviour support (pastoral) role provides families with a key point of contact, which helps them to access a useful layer of additional support. Leaders work with experts and services beyond the school, as well as with colleagues from the linked infant and secondary schools, and keep careful records of their work. This reduces the risk of vulnerable pupils and families ‘slipping through the net’.
