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

This is the type of school that any child would want to come to. It is full of happy smiles and kind words. Even on a rainy day, the puddles in the early years are bright colours as children explore creatively. Most parents and carers wish their children could stay here beyond the infant years. We can see why. Governors and leaders are highly ambitious for all the pupils and ensure that they achieve very well, especially in reading. This is not an accident, as leaders have thought very carefully about what is taught and when. Pupils excel in a range of subjects that are closely linked to well-chosen themes. Special days, such as ‘fire’ day and ‘splash’ day, bring these alive. Pupils feel safe here. There is very little unkind behaviour. Pupils know that bullying is unkind behaviour ‘several times on purpose’ but do not really worry about it because it hardly ever happens. The opportunities available to pupils beyond the classroom are vast, and pupils take full advantage of them. For example, the Southwood Songbirds choir delight when they perform in the community and pupils enjoy gaining new skills in ballet, street dance and gardening clubs, to name just a few.

"> Lovely school. My child has recently left after 3 years. The headteacher really cares about her school and it's pupils. The FSIS commitee is also fantastic at what they do to raise money for new equipment and new projects within the school throughout the year with social events too. Having an onsite after school club has also been invaluable. If only Southwood was a Primary we could have stayed for longer. I thoroughly recommend this school.
