What The Good Schools Guide says..
An amazing 37 different languages spoken by children of 22 nationalities, the French contingent numerically miles ahead (Brexit may alter this) with about a third of the pupils this year having English as an additional language. However, the diversity of their backgrounds was obviously not affecting the children that we met, who appeared completely at home. Local musicians, artists and actors are encouraged to come into the school part-time and we witnessed the enthusiasm of the year 6 Djembe drumming session. It was a toss-up whether the teacher or the children were being more enthusiastic in a PE class we saw...

Executive Headteacher
Since September 2022 John Budden. previously head of a Beckenham primary school and CEO of a MAT based in the area. Originally a teacher of English at secondary level, Mr Budden made an early move into primary schools, where he specialised in school improvement, bringing his most recent school to an 'outstanding' Ofsted grading.
Entrance
Consistently oversubscribed, the furthest offers by distance at the moment are under 500 metres for the school and just half that for the two nursery classes. Because the distance is measured from the Webbs Road site, this can mean that a child whose bedroom overlooks the Meteor Street premises is unable to skip across the street to school.

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

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.
