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

A nurturing ethos runs throughout this school. Everyone is well looked after. Pupils are polite and well mannered. Staff are positive role models. Pupils told inspectors that, when they all returned to school after the first two national lockdowns, they realised how much they had missed their teachers. Both pupils and staff are proud to be part of this small school. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They enjoy being with their friends. They are kind and supportive of each other. Older pupils take pride in looking after the younger ones, for example through the school’s buddy system. Pupils learn about bullying and understand how to stay safe online. They know what to do if they are worried about themselves or a friend. They learn different ways to communicate, such as using a worry box, if something upsets them. There is a strong sense of community in the school. Most parents and carers value the support that their children receive. They praised the school’s response to the global pandemic. One parent commented, ‘The whole school team have bent over backwards to support families during the pandemic.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? The school provides a good quality of education. Leaders have designed the curriculum from the early years upwards. They ensure that pupils build on the strong start they make when they start school. Staff quickly identify gaps in pupils’ learning and plan lessons with these in mind. Teachers provide work that matches pupils’ needs and abilities. However, leaders have not ensured that new learning is always explained clearly enough to pupils. Sometimes, pupils’ mistakes or misunderstandings are not corrected. Leaders have developed the mathematics curriculum to help pupils build their learning over time. They have ensured that pupils gain a secure understanding of numbers. Pupils think about how numbers work and can confidently explain their thinking. One pupil, explaining that he could not change his answer into a decimal, said, ‘You can’t halve people!’ Teachers support pupils to link new learning to prior learning. Older pupils do this particularly well. For example, pupils connect different periods in time by comparing the Mayans to the ancient Greeks. They remember many historical facts in detail. However, pupils are not consistently encouraged to record their ideas independently. Leaders support all staff to deliver the new reading programme effectively. Children begin to learn phonics early on. This good start is then carried through into Year 1. Staff make regular checks to confirm what pupils have remembered. They make sure that pupils who struggle with reading get the right help. Pupils read books that are well matched to their ability. They enjoy reading. Younger pupils like discussing their favourite books and are beginning to recognise some famous authors. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported in lessons. Their parents agree. The teachers and teaching assistants know the needs of pupils. They use resources and questioning to support pupils’ needs. Leaders ensure that visitors and educational visits support pupils’ understanding of life in modern Britain. The curriculum helps pupils develop an understanding of relationships, difference and diversity. Pupils have opportunities to enjoy sport and the arts. Most pupils attend well. Systems are in place to make checks on pupils who are absent. However, some disadvantaged pupils do not attend school as regularly as they should. Teachers appreciate efforts made by leaders to manage and reduce their workload. Staff say they enjoy the teamwork ethos at the school. Staff feel that they are well cared for by each other and leaders.
