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

Welburn Hall School is a warm and caring school. All staff want the very best for the pupils who attend. As such, ambitions are high. Staff, both teaching and non-teaching, know their pupils well. Strong bonds have been forged between staff and pupils. Relationships are at the heart of the school. As a result, pupils feel safe in school and inspectors agree that they are safe. Bullying is not a problem at Welburn Hall. Staff are quick to spot when pupils might be falling out, or acting unkindly, and they step in to straighten things out. Behaviour overall is good. The school is an ordered community. At times, due to their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), some pupils present very challenging behaviours. However, staff understand their pupils, and they act with care and skill to support pupils at these times. At Welburn Hall School, expectations are high. Leaders expect staff to do their jobs well, which they do. Governors expect leaders to fulfil their roles effectively, which they do. Staff expect pupils to achieve, which they do. Not least, this is because pupils are understood, treated and respected as individuals.
