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. Since your very recent appointment, you have already taken steps to increase the capacity of the leadership team through the appointment of a deputy headteacher. The school maintained high outcomes for pupils in the most recent assessments in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 2. Outcomes have also improved in early years at the end of Reception, including in writing, and are consistently high in phonics in Years 1 and 2. Assessment information provided by leaders indicates that current pupils, including the most able, are making good progress in most year groups. This was confirmed in books seen during the inspection visit. Pupils are well prepared for middle school by the time they leave at the end of Year 5. There is a strong ethos of learning in classrooms, where pupils’ attitudes ensure that little time is wasted and low-level disruption is rare. Pupils behave well in lessons and outside during breaktimes. All of the very small number of parents who responded to Parent View were unanimous that they would recommend the school to another parent. All said their children were happy in school and well looked after. Pupils spoken to during the visit confirmed this view. They said they enjoy the wide range of subjects and topics they are learning about, including French. When the school was last inspected in 2013, the areas identified for improvement were attendance, the teaching of mathematics, pupils’ confidence in speaking in class and their progress in writing. Attendance has been on a three-year improving trend from 2014 to 2016 when it was broadly in line with the national average. Persistent absence fell to below average in 2016. However, there was a dip in overall attendance in 2017. Attendance for disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities is still not improving quickly enough. Teaching of mathematics, including mastery in the new curriculum, has been a key priority for the school and teachers throughout the school, including in Reception, are now more adept in teaching the subject. Pupils are confident and articulate in lessons and in speaking to adults in other situations. They have made rapid progress in their writing throughout the school. Your accurate self-evaluation confirms why the school is still good. It recognises that in the following aspects the school still needs to improve further and is not yet outstanding. The attendance of disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is not yet high enough. Disadvantaged pupils are not making as much rapid progress in reading, writing and mathematics in key stage 2 as they are in Reception and key stage 1. Leaders and governors have not sufficiently evaluated the impact of additional funding for disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities. Written feedback to pupils in other subjects is not as consistently in line with the school’s policy as it is in English, mathematics and science. The indoors environment in early years is in need of refurbishment. The school does not meet Department for Education requirements for information schools must publish on their website concerning the pupil premium, the physical education and sports premium, and the special educational needs information report including the school’s accessibility plan. Safeguarding is effective. A strong culture of safeguarding permeates throughout the school. This is evident in the commitment of leaders, governors and staff to the safety and well-being of pupils. They ensure that it remains their top priority. All pupils spoken to and all parents responding to Parent View agreed that children feel very safe in school. Pupils know what to do if they feel worried by anything and are confident in reporting incidents to adults. They know how to keep themselves safe online. Pupils reported that bullying is very rare but that isolated incidents are dealt with effectively. Leaders keep up to date with training and updates. Governors ensure that leaders carry out their statutory duties effectively to ensure that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose.
