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

Wennington Hall School is a day and residential school situated in a former country house in Wennington, a village in Lancashire. A small proportion of pupils attend on a residential basis. The number of boarders has declined since the previous inspection. Inspection report: Wennington Hall School, 3–4 July 2019 Page 12 of 15 A high proportion of pupils are known to be eligible for pupil premium funding. All pupils are identified as having social, emotional and mental health needs and have an education, health and care plan. The school has a high adult-to-pupil ratio. There have been four interim headteachers since the previous inspection. The current headteacher has been in post since January 2019. The head of care was appointed in November 2018. Most of the governors have been appointed since the previous inspection, including the chair. Following the previous inspection, the Department for Education issued the school with a directive academy order. A suitable sponsor has not been found. A small number of key stage 4 pupils have access to alternative provision. These pupils study off site, following online learning programmes leading to GCSE, level 1/2 and functional-skills qualifications. The previous full integrated inspection was in December 2016. The last inspection of residential provision was in May 2018.
