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

St Matthew’s Church of England Primary School is a smaller than the average-sized primary school. The current headteacher took up post in September 2015. The proportion of girls attending the school is well below the national average. The majority of pupils are from a White British background. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is in line with the national average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is broadly average. The proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care plan is below average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school provides both a breakfast club and after-school care which were part of this inspection. Inspection report: St Matthew’s Church of England Primary School, 4–5 July 2018 Page 8 of 10 Information about this inspection The inspectors observed pupils’ learning across the school. Most observations were undertaken jointly with senior leaders. Inspectors looked at pupils’ current work in books across the curriculum and carried out learning walks across the school. Meetings were held with governors, middle leaders and pupils. The lead inspector met with the ‘challenge and support partners’ from the local authority. Inspectors took account of 56 responses to Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire, and had informal discussions with parents when they brought their children to school. Inspectors took account of 17 responses to the staff questionnaire and 15 responses to the pupil questionnaire. The inspectors talked with pupils at break and lunchtime, as well as during lessons. Inspectors looked at a wide range of school documents, including the school’s selfevaluation, the school improvement plan, school policies, governors’ minutes of meetings and the school’s assessment systems and monitoring records. Inspectors reviewed a wide range of safeguarding evidence, including the school’s single central record and behaviour and incident logs.
