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 rightly identify areas that need strengthening, as well as where there are pockets of excellent practice, such as in early years. You, and your leaders, know the school, your pupils and their families very well. This knowledge has helped in your successful work to improve the attendance of pupils who are entitled to free school meals. The attendance of this group is now above that of other pupils in the school. Your deep commitment to developing pupils fully, so they are able to make a positive contribution to their community, is shared by your staff team. Consequently, there is a strong team spirit within the staff body, which will support the school in the changes that lie ahead, including the appointment of a new headteacher. You, and your leaders, have created an environment in which pupils treasure the values of honesty, happiness and respect. Pupils are rightly proud of their contribution to the school’s caring ethos. Pupils enjoy coming to school and display positive attitudes to learning. They were keen to tell me about pieces of work they had completed, and demonstrated pride in their achievement. Pupils work well together. For example, when I observed Year 6 pupils discussing a fraction problem, they listened to each other intently, and thoughtfully responded to their classmates’ comments. Pupils behave well in lessons, especially when the tasks their teachers set challenge them fully. The school provides a wealth of activities and experiences, as part of their wider curriculum. Pupils and parents appreciate the additional experiences you provide, which include much-loved residential trips, strong after-school provision and a wide range of sporting events. On the day of the inspection, the school effectively developed pupils’ creativity and also enhanced their spiritual, moral and social learning through a singing activity, organised in partnership with the local church. You, and your leaders, have carefully analysed the most recent results from external tests and assessments. In 2016, the proportion of most-able pupils exceeding age-related expectations in key stage 1, in reading, writing and mathematics, was well below that of others nationally. The progress of mostable pupils in writing in key stage 2, in 2016, was significantly below the national average. You have rightly prioritised these as areas for development and they are placed at the heart of your written self-evaluation and development plan. The staff team are committed to the improvements that need to be made. The changes that have been made have already had a positive impact on the progress in mathematics in key stage 1 and of high attaining pupils in key stage 2. There is still work to do, however, in ensuring that the most able pupils throughout the school achieve the highest standards in reading, writing and mathematics. Since the previous inspection, you have strengthened the teaching and assessment of writing and more pupils are meeting age-related expectations in key stage 1 and 2. Nevertheless, the progress of the most able pupils in writing is now an appropriate focus for the school. You have introduced a school-wide, systematic approach to teaching science, which is having a positive impact on the standards pupils reach. As a result, teachers’ assessments for science, at the end of key stages 1 and 2, are well above average. You have also raised the profile of mathematics, ably supported by your subject lead. You are rightly proud of the developments in outdoor learning, including the introduction of woodland learning for children in early years. Safeguarding is effective. School leaders and governors fulfil their statutory safeguarding duties well. All safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. As a result, pupils are safe. In particular, staff have created a very nurturing environment. As one parent who has recently joined the school community commented, ‘what a warm, caring vibe the school has.’ You have ensured that staff are fully aware of safeguarding issues and have rightly sent out a strong message that everyone has a responsibility for safeguarding. You have ensured that the induction of new staff is thorough. You ably lead training, which is regular and takes full account of the latest guidance. Referrals to the local authority’s welfare services are timely and the local authority has recently praised your diligence.
