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. The spirit of St Werburgh’s is captured in the school’s motto ‘Achieve, Believe, Together’. All of the school’s work is sprinkled with references to its Christian values and beliefs. This successfully supports pupils to become responsible citizens through understanding that the values and beliefs associated with their school are shared within British culture. Pupils and staff alike were pleased to show me what they were doing, reflecting a clear and shared sense of pride in this strong and cohesive school community. You are successfully creating a culture in which all staff are working together with a shared vision to provide the very best for every pupil. As a result, pupils are ambitious, enthusiastic and confident learners. Our visits to several classes provided good examples of this. In a Year 5─ 6 class, pupils were engaging in high-quality discussion about the role of Martin Luther King in promoting racial equality. They watched excerpts from his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech and identified the key features which reflected his views and beliefs. In the Reception class, children were captivated by the many clues they had found suggesting that an alien spaceship had landed in the playground. They made a list of all the clues and discussed these together with great excitement. You, and other senior leaders, consistently communicate a clear vision. You are committed to continued improvement in order to build on the school’s success. For example, you immediately identified what needed to be done to make sure that the school addressed a fall in standards in mathematics at the end of Year 6 in 2016. This had a positive effect on pupils’ achievement at the end of Year 6 in 2017. You are ambitious for the school and know the school well. You have successfully addressed the areas for improvement from the last inspection. You were able to explain clearly to me the many strengths of the school, as well as the areas that still need to be developed. You and other senior leaders have evaluated the school accurately and have the capacity to make improvements successfully. Pupils are proud ambassadors for their school. Their thoughtfulness, care and respect for one another are impressive, particularly when adults are not directly supervising them. In the playground at break- and lunchtimes, pupils’ behaviour is calm and considerate. In lessons, pupils sustain good concentration and try hard with their work. Their notable conduct reflects the school’s strong Christian ethos and effective strategies to promote high standards of behaviour. All parents whom I spoke with said that their child is happy at school and they would recommend the school to other parents. They are extremely positive about the support that their children receive and the progress they are making. They hold you in high regard and praised the approachability and dedication of staff. Inspection evidence supports these positive views of the school. Safeguarding is effective. A strong culture of safeguarding is at the heart of the school’s work. The single central record indicates that all required checks are made to ensure that staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children. You ensure that staff receive the required training, including training relating to protecting pupils from extremism and radicalisation. Your persistent yet thoughtful and considered work with outside agencies ensures that pupils and their families receive exactly the right support they need. All staff are highly vigilant. They are aware of the actions they need to take if they think that a child protection issue has arisen. Pupils whom I spoke with said that they feel safe in all parts of the school. Pupils behave extremely well in lessons and around the school. They are respectful towards adults and cooperate with each other well. Pupils are alert to the dangers of using the internet and social media. Parents express high levels of confidence in the school. They told me that you do everything possible to ensure that their children are safe, happy and well. Pupils’ attendance is above the national average. You take swift action to follow up any concerns and work effectively with external agencies and families to bring about rapid improvements.
