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. Since your appointment in September 2017, you have built on the success of the previous headteacher and you are strongly determined to improve even further. The improvements in GCSE results noted in the previous inspection have continued. By judicious use of the extra funding, you have successfully addressed the achievement gap between disadvantaged pupils and others in the school. The 2017 results showed that disadvantaged pupils are now making better progress than other pupils nationally. However, while the variation in GCSE results between different subjects has been much reduced, pupils’ performance in mathematics, though in line with the national average, was much weaker in 2017 than in other subjects. This is a priority for the school and was a focus for this inspection. The school aims to empower pupils to become ‘active world citizens’. An example of this ethos in action was seen in pupils’ powerful and wellarticulated speeches in an English lesson. When speaking to inspectors, pupils strongly supported the values of the school. ‘Open-mindedness is encouraged,’ one said. ‘Teachers encourage us to listen to others’ ideas and then make our own decisions.’ Students in the sixth form are making progress in line with that of their peers nationally, and sixth-form leaders are untiring in their efforts to raise standards further. Students in the sixth form spoke highly of the helpful guidance they receive on university applications. The diverse range of destinations of past students, including Russell Group universities, is evidence of the impact of the advice they have been given. Your staff appreciated the opportunities afforded by the local consortium to work with teachers from other schools to meet the demands of the new A-level courses. Inspectors observed high standards of behaviour in classrooms and around the school. Pupils are courteous and respectful. They show a strong appreciation of diversity and respect for others. As shown in the inspection findings, rates of exclusions have been reduced substantially. You have successfully maintained good levels of attendance. The school has high levels of support from pupils, parents and carers. A significantly high number of parents responded to Parent View, and they are extremely positive about the school. Virtually all respondents would recommend Parliament Hill to other parents. Pupils are also appreciative of the support they receive from teachers. When they spoke to inspectors, they commented on the carefully considered feedback they receive about their work. You and your leadership team are well supported by an effective team of governors who have a detailed knowledge of the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. They visit the school regularly and ask appropriately challenging questions. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors have ensured that a strong culture of safeguarding is embedded in the school. All of the pupils who spoke to inspectors said that they feel safe and well looked after. Their parents agree. Leaders have ensured that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed. The single central record of staff recruitment checks is comprehensive and up to date. All staff are trained to an appropriate level and receive regular safeguarding updates. Pupils causing concern are carefully monitored, and appropriate referrals are made. Senior staff have carefully assessed local risks and have developed strong relationships with appropriate local partners to tackle them. Your curriculum, which is regularly evaluated, covers key safeguarding issues with pupils, including e-safety and bullying. Very rare instances of bullying are dealt with promptly.
