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

Pupils flourish in this kind and welcoming school, where they feel happy and safe. Strong relationships between staff and pupils foster a sense of community. Pupils take on leadership roles, participate in charity work and help out with organising assemblies for each other. These roles help to develop their character and strengthen the school’s sense of unity. High expectations are central to the school’s ethos. In response, pupils learn well, and this is reflected in very strong outcomes for English and mathematics. However, in some other subjects, the curriculum is, at times, not as successful in supporting pupils to build on their learning as they progress through the school. The school is working successfully to ensure that the curriculum in these subjects fully enables pupils to deepen their understanding over time. Pupils behave extremely well. Pupils understand the school’s behaviour expectations. They feel confident turning to trusted adults for support, which enhances their sense of security. The school’s inclusive approach ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported to succeed. Parents and carers appreciate the school’s nurturing and ambitious ethos. The school’s focus on securing ongoing improvements to the quality of education helps to ensure that pupils are well supported, both academically and personally.
