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

This is a warm, friendly and welcoming school. The pupils are rightly proud of it. The staff are proud to work at it. The headteacher is proud to lead it. The headteacher is determined that pupils will do as well as they can. She has put her pride in the school and the community it serves at the heart of what is happening at the school. She shares her high aspirations for pupils with all staff. To lift everybody’s expectations, the headteacher has brought in a new curriculum. Much of it is planned and in place already. It has raised the bar for teachers and for pupils. Everyone is responding to the challenge. Pupils have discovered or increased their enjoyment of reading. Pupils are safe in school and they feel safe. They are not worried about bullying. Their behaviour is good. Right from the early years, pupils understand how to conduct themselves in a courteous and respectful way. This is a school which teaches its pupils about tolerance and respect for others. The school is best summed up by the comment of one pupil, who said, ‘At Worth Valley we are one big team.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? The school provides a good quality of education. Leaders have considered what pupils should learn, when and why. Some subjects have already got well-planned programmes of study in place. Here, there are clear links from what pupils learn in Year 1 to what they learn in Year 6. The teaching in these subjects is very effective. Teachers have strong subject knowledge. This means that they teach the ‘units’ with confidence and skill. In a few subjects, curriculum plans are being finalised. However, leaders have made sure that teachers have got stuck in with what is planned so far. Leaders are training subject coordinators and teachers in how to plan and teach the new units. Due to the newness of these plans, some of the teaching in these subjects is a little less confident at the moment. Leaders have made the teaching of reading a priority. Everyone teaches early reading to the Reception Year and Year 1 in the same way. As well as this, they have made reading for pleasure a big thing in school. Pupils told inspectors how much they enjoy reading. Due to these actions, pupils are quickly getting the skills they need to be good readers. The behaviour of pupils is a strength of the school. They are polite and welcoming. Pupils said that bullying is very unusual but gets sorted out if it happens. In class, Inspection report: Worth Valley Primary School 15–16 October 2019 2 pupils are well behaved and listen for most of the time. The relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Pupils get on well with their learning. School does lots of work to improve attendance. It is getting better, but it is still not as good as it needs to be. Leaders provide lots of opportunities for pupils to experience things which help them to grow as young people. They learn about other people’s faiths and cultures. One pupil told an inspector, ‘No matter where you are from, whatever faith or language, you are welcome here. Everyone is respected.’ The needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well met most of the time. Leaders have got a firm grasp of support needed, and how to put it in place. Pupils with SEND feel very supported at school. Yet a couple of parents do not think school’s support for SEND is as strong as they would like. The school is well led and managed. The staff are overwhelmingly proud to work at the school. Governors have a clear understanding of the school’s strengths and where there is still work to do. The headteacher and senior staff are well supported by the trust. The early years foundation stage provision is good. Staff make sure that they teach reading from the start. Due to this, children in the Reception Year learn their sounds and letters correctly. The early years base is a welcoming area. There are plenty of play-based activities for the children to try. Staff use these activities well to encourage the children’s use of language. Leaders have put in place a curriculum which prepares the children for key stage 1. Children’s behaviour is very good. The staff are skilled at helping the children learn how to get along with others.
