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

Your effective leadership has ensured that the good quality of education in the school has been maintained since the last inspection. Together with other leaders and governors, you have effectively managed the school through a period of growth. The school has grown from 148 pupils on roll at the time of the last inspection to nearly 180 pupils on roll. Your passion and enthusiasm is evident in the commitment and dedication that you give to the school. You place pupils’ learning and well-being at the heart of everything you do. You are determined to keep improving the school and have ambition for the school to be even more successful. Governors and staff share this ambition and work very effectively as a united, strong team. You accurately identify the school’s strengths and where further improvements can be made. For example, following a drop in the early years outcomes in 2014, you acted decisively to secure improvements in teaching and learning. As a result of your prompt action, outcomes improved. The school is a happy, purposeful environment for learning where pupils thrive. There is a strong sense of family and belonging across the whole school community. Staff know pupils very well and their relationships with them are warm and nurturing. Pupils value the kindness of their teachers and the good support that teachers give them to help them learn. The school’s values, ‘courage, commitment, community, compassion and love inspired by faith to serve’, are evident in pupils’ good behaviour and in their respectful, caring attitudes to each other. Pupils have a good understanding of the meaning of the school’s values. For example, when asked about how pupils show these values in their behaviour one pupil explained, ‘If someone falls over, you help them and you show love.’ Pupils play and learn happily together and try their hardest, even when they are finding learning challenging. Pupils enjoy school and speak enthusiastically about many of the things that they like learning about. They particularly enjoy the daily, collective worship and singing. They are confident learners and keen to talk about their learning with visitors. For example, one pupil delighted in reading out his writing about the recent visit to Windsor Castle. Pupils enjoy being challenged and explaining how some of them like to have a go at the ‘turbo challenges’ set by their teachers. One pupil explained how he challenged himself to write at least two pages when writing a story. A pupil in the early years also proudly showed her Chinese dragon which she was challenged to make. Pupils talk excitedly about the visits they go on and the many out-ofschool activities they attend such as French, choir, football and tennis. The school has very good relationships with parents and this is a strength of the school. Parents wholeheartedly support the school and greatly value the strong, positive ‘family feel’ of the school. As one parent commented, ‘I could not be happier.’ Governors, staff and senior leaders work together very effectively to keep all aspects of the school under review. Senior leaders and governors use information about pupils’ progress to enable them to target resources or additional support. The school makes effective use of outside support and guidance to help them keep improving the school. As a result, the quality of teaching and learning at the school has continued to improve and is consistently good. You have maintained the many strengths identified at the last inspection. From their varied starting points, the vast majority of pupils make good progress and achieve well. Following a dip in 2014, outcomes at the end of the early years have improved and are now broadly in line with the national average. In 2016, the proportion of pupils who achieved the expected standards at the end of key stage 1 was similar to the national average. However, the proportion of pupils who were working at greater depth exceeded the national average in all subjects. Pupils continue to achieve very well in their phonics screening check in Years 1 and 2. In addition, outcomes for pupils in key stage 1 are continuing to improve. You have also addressed the areas that inspectors asked the school to improve. The most able pupils are now making good progress and achieving well. This is evident in the high proportion of pupils working at greater depth of learning in 2016 and the good progress that the most able pupils are now making. Teachers provide a good level of challenge for these pupils who, in turn, enjoy this challenge. You have strengthened middle leadership and have improved the leadership of subjects such as English, mathematics and science. These leaders make good use of assessment information to continue to improve teaching and outcomes for pupils. Other subject leaders work hard and regularly check coverage of the curriculum. However, in most subjects, they do not yet play a full role in monitoring the progress of pupils or leading improvement across the school.
