Do you know this school?

The schools we choose, and what we say about them, are founded on parents’ views. If you know this school, please share your views with us.

Please note: Independent schools frequently offer IGCSEs or other qualifications alongside or as an alternative to GCSE. The DfE does not record performance data for these exams so independent school GCSE data is frequently misleading; parents should check the results with the schools.

Special Education Needs

Support for pupils with additional or different needs is provided by the Support Team which includes Learning, Language and Behaviour support and is strategically managed by the Pupil Support Manager who is an Assistant Headteacher. Within the Support Team, Learning Support is co-ordinated by the Learning Support Co-ordinator. The Learning Support Department consists of two part-time (0.5) teachers and eight Teaching Assistants. The Behaviour Support Department is co-ordinated by the Behaviour Support Co-ordinator who works with two full-time Teaching Assistants. For the most part, support for pupils with Special Educational Needs, both learning and behaviour, takes place within mainstream lessons, although both departments benefit from their own dedicated classroom for withdrawal purposes where specialist programmes can be delivered. The school is committed to the employment of Higher Level Teaching Assistants.

Interpreting catchment maps

The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.

Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.

For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained

Further reading

If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.

Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.

Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.

*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.

The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
