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 since the last inspection. You have ensured that the proportion of pupils who achieve the standards expected of them continues to be greater than that nationally. You have correctly identified the most important areas for improvement and have successfully addressed many of them. However, plans could be sharper so that governors can measure how successful leaders have been in bringing improvements. Staff receive a wide range of training and support to improve outcomes for pupils. Leaders test out new approaches to learning, such as the recently introduced reading journals, before implementing them across the school. This means that when they are rolled out to the whole school, there are a small number of staff who can provide support to others. Leaders have ensured that children in the early years have varied and exciting experiences outside. The recently developed outdoor area is attractive and is used well to promote learning. Staff are successful in developing children’s early communication and language skills. Pupils’ behaviour and conduct are exemplary. They are articulate and develop the confidence to justify their opinions. They are very positive about the school and describe how well pupils get on and how everyone feels involved. They appreciate the many extra- curricular activities that are available to them. They know how to keep themselves safe both in school and online. They say that incidents of bullying are extremely rare, and this is reflected in the records that the school keeps. When incidents do occur, they are dealt with quickly and effectively by school leaders. In classes, pupils listen well to their teachers and concentrate on their work. Disruption is extremely rare, enabling pupils to progress well in lessons. I spoke to several parents who were very positive about the school. One parent told me that pupils ‘do well at the school’, describing it as ‘brilliant – my children have come on in leaps and bounds.’ Another parent spoke highly of the support that their family had received from the school. Leaders keep a very close eye on attendance. The procedures they have put in place have resulted in the absence of disadvantaged pupils being reduced significantly, although there is still further work to do in this area. Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of high quality. Leaders work hard to ensure that pupils get the support they need. This includes working with a wide range of external agencies and providing daily opportunities for pupils to talk about any concerns that they may have. Leaders are very thorough in their approach to identify levels of risk. This means that the most vulnerable pupils are kept safe. Governors understand their responsibilities and routinely check that the school is correctly applying the safeguarding policy. Pupils and parents say that pupils are kept safe in school and that they know who to go to if they have any concerns. Inspection findings You have correctly identified the need to increase rates of progress in reading and have changed the way reading is taught. You are now developing pupils’ reading skills more effectively. Pupils talk about what they have read with enthusiasm. They are able to answer increasingly complex questions that reveal a deeper understanding of what they are reading. However, while leaders effectively evaluate the standards that groups of pupils reach, they do not regularly evaluate the proportion of pupils who progress well and those who make even better progress. Leaders have taken positive steps to develop pupils’ love of reading. These include close links with the local library, providing a greater range of stimulating resources, and daily access to the school library. Pupils enjoy the school’s themed days, such as ‘Dahlicous Day’, which celebrated the work of author Roald Dahl.
