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, well supported by senior leaders, have maintained good academic standards. At the same time, all staff are committed to the school’s clear focus on pupils’ broader development, safety, happiness and well-being. The school’s Christian ethos and community and global involvement contribute well to pupils’ personal development. Your pupils are polite, courteous and confident. You know the school well, including its strengths and weaknesses. Your plans to address areas that need to improve are detailed and appropriate. When you take action, improvement follows quickly, for example in the early years and in the teaching of mathematics. Governors are very committed to the school. They also know the school well because you provide them with high-quality information and they visit regularly to check, first-hand, the accuracy of what they are told. They provide you with good support and strong challenge. At the previous inspection, leaders were tasked with ensuring that pupils are sufficiently challenged in all subjects and with improving achievement in mathematics. You have addressed these areas effectively. Expectations and levels of challenge are high across subjects. The teaching of mathematics has improved, although there is room for further improvement in some aspects.

“Fantastic”

"> Fantastic school - I recommend this to school to anyone
“School in decline”

unlock
"> Since the Headmaster left this school back in 2011, in my opinion it has quickly gone into decline. The quality of teaching is questionable from top to bottom. I would really consider other options for your child.
