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. Since your arrival, when the school became part of the Village Schools Federation in January 2018, you have set about school improvement with determination and focus. You promptly reviewed key school policies and procedures and quickly established a clear pathway for developing the school, building on previous success and reinvigorating the school further. You have identified precisely the school’s main strengths and those areas that require some improvement. Staff, parents and carers, pupils and governors are all highly appreciative of your inclusive approach and rightly hold you in high regard. You have instilled a clarity of purpose within the whole team, which is confident in the direction you have set and embraces the new challenges. Staff are overwhelmingly positive. They feel confident in your leadership and know that you are readily available – always willing to make time to talk on the telephone on the days you are not physically present. Staff value highly the increase in professional networks provided by the federation. They describe how well supported they are by, for instance, sharing moderation and expertise with other colleagues. Governance is strong. Since joining the federation, governors’ skills have been honed and processes streamlined so that governors are highly effective. They provide appropriate support and challenge for leaders and check regularly to see for themselves how the school is operating. Governors have a strong and ambitious vision for the school. This is a happy, purposeful school where pupils, parents and staff have a true sense of belonging. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They told me that they, ‘laugh a lot and make friends’. They relish each other’s company and form strong bonds. They talk animatedly about the games that they play. Pupils are well skilled in getting along together. They told me that when, from time to time, there are minor conflicts, ‘We sort things out together, we figure things out’. Pupils trust in teachers to help them resolve more tricky issues and to guide them appropriately in their learning. Parents value the community feel of the school. One parent writing on Parent View typified the views of many in saying, ‘Great dedicated staff have built a welcome, caring and stimulating environment’. The school is valued as a vibrant part of the community at the centre of events such as maypole dancing and the Easter-bonnet parade. Parents recognised the way the changes implemented as part of joining the federation have further improved the school. You have maintained the strengths identified at the previous inspection. Pupils behave impeccably around the school. During lessons, they are keen to participate, and listen carefully to each other. Across the school, pupils look after each other well, making sure that they are all included in learning and play. There is an air of comradery. Pupils are genuinely supportive of each other. They celebrate each other’s talents and achievements whether on the sports field or in story-writing for competitions. In this way, they practise the school’s values well. You have addressed the areas for improvement from the previous inspection. Pupils generally form their handwriting carefully and take pride in their work. Nevertheless, you have rightly identified that standards are not equally high across the curriculum. You are wisely revising the curriculum so that it provides all pupils, but particularly the most able, with more opportunity to connect and deepen their thinking across subjects. You know that sometimes the most able pupils do not currently receive enough challenge to make consistently good progress from their starting points. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. All necessary checks are carried out before staff are appointed. All required safeguarding training is up to date and complete. Processes have been reviewed by governors, who work effectively with leaders to ensure that everything is as it should be. Pupils’ well-being is a central part of the culture of the school. This helps to keep pupils safe. Staff know pupils well and keep a watchful eye, which helps ensure that any worries are identified and acted on quickly. Adaptions to the building, such as fencing the playground, have further improved pupils’ safety. Pupils have an appropriate and developing understanding of how to keep themselves safe online.
