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 in the school since the previous inspection. Since then, you have appointed a new vice principal from within your school leadership team, who has been in post since Easter 2017. Currently, you are expanding the size and leadership capacity of your senior team for September 2018 to reflect the school’s expansion. The school has continued to grow over time and pupil numbers are close to full capacity. The many strengths identified in the 2014 inspection remain. I was impressed with the many good-quality displays that you have around the school. Each one demonstrates the numerous and varied activities that pupils experience. You are rightly proud of the many activities your staff provide for pupils after school. Pupils have a wealth of opportunity to develop their skills in sport. During the inspection, pupils represented their houses in the key stage 2 sporting event that was held on the field. They wore their house colours with pride. Pupils have a clear love of learning and work well in class, trying their best to complete their activities. Nearly all the pupils who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire stated that they enjoy their learning and that adults help them learn about treating everyone equally. Pupils spoken with were enthusiastic about their school and said that teachers listen to their views. Equally, most staff who responded to the Ofsted questionnaire during the inspection are proud to work at the school and feel well supported.
