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. Leaders are uncompromising in their desire for improvement and inspire everyone to be part of this work. Your leadership team shares your determination to strengthen pupils’ achievement. Together, you have prioritised actions effectively, and introduced important changes to improve standards of teaching and learning. Consequently, attainment and progress at the end of key stage 2 in the last two years have been above national averages. In addition, you have worked hard with your team to close the gap between disadvantaged pupils at the end of key stage 2 and others nationally. The school’s positive climate ensures that children value their education. The school’s core values include love, courage and friendship, and provide a strong foundation for this work. Pupils are proud of their school. They work well in lessons, and do so with enthusiasm. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is strong. For example, they go on walks locally and visit London museums to extend their cultural understanding. A wide range of activities within the school and the community ensure that pupils are ready for life in modern Britain; they have strong links with St Andrew’s Church and visit the local synagogue. Governors know the school well and are proud of what has been achieved for the pupils. They monitor leaders’ actions, and hold them to account effectively. Together with the diocese and the local authority, governors support the headteacher fully. As a result, issues have been tackled with urgency and a sense of purpose. This is particularly the case with the recent improvements in early years and the curriculum, although more needs to be done to build on these improvements. Parents who responded to the Ofsted questionnaire have confidence that the school is moving in the right direction. They value the strong sense of community and belonging, and nearly all would recommend the school to others. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders ensure that safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. Staff are vigilant, and ensure that pupils are kept safe and secure. Staff training is up to date, and safeguarding records are kept in good order. Leaders and staff deal with safeguarding concerns in a timely and appropriate manner. Leaders share information effectively with parents and appropriate external agencies to ensure that pupils receive extra help when they need it. Pupils say that they feel safe and know who to speak to if they have any worries. The great majority of parents report that their children are safe at school. They agree that leaders and staff address concerns promptly. The governing body oversees all safeguarding procedures, and checks that leaders are effective in promoting pupils’ welfare. Inspection findings My first line of enquiry was to explore actions taken by leaders to close the gap between disadvantaged pupils and others at the school, and nationally, at the end of key stage 1. This is because in 2018, the relatively small number of disadvantaged pupils did not achieve as well as their peers. I found that leaders are taking effective action to promote improvement for disadvantaged pupils in key stage 1. They monitor progress closely, and use a range of interventions to close the gaps. Disadvantaged pupils read with increasing fluency and confidence, and they have systematic approaches to tackling unfamiliar words. Work in pupils’ books and visits to lessons show teachers typically plan activities to help pupils build progressively on their prior knowledge and skills. In most cases, teachers use questions well to probe pupils’ understanding. However, where this does not happen, pupils’ thinking is not challenged and this slows their progress. My second line of enquiry focused on leaders’ actions to improve the quality of teaching in the early years to ensure that a greater proportion of children develop age-related skills and knowledge. I found that leaders and governors have invested resources to improve outdoor provision. They have developed the curriculum so that it is better matched to children’s needs and interests. Teachers ensure that recent changes help children get off to a stronger start at school.
