What The Good Schools Guide says..
The functional buildings, including a new separate reception block with its own fenced off space, sit comfortably on their generous corner site and there is plenty of room for letting off steam outside. Parents talk about their children thriving beyond expectation due to the 'brilliant' teachers, with children coming home bursting to tell their mothers that 'guess what, he’s going to give us free extra help in lunchtime' or 'maths is not really like a lesson, it’s such fun'. Considerable thought is taken over...

What The Good Schools Guide says
Headteacher
Since January 2022, Tom Holmes, previously head at Allfarthing Primary School since 2017. He has also been acting head at St Mary’s CE Primary School in Twickenham and before that he taught at Wandsworth’s Honeywell School.
Entrance
You may need to live within spitting distance of the school as the catchment area is tiny, normally less than 500m. There is now three-form entry at reception but the demand is such that you probably need to live within walking distance of the school, although they do take in the odd Richmond refugee. The increased intake has not resulted in more room for new arrivals as the larger number of siblings take up the extra places. Places further up the school are as rare as hens’ teeth and usually only occur when a family moves from the area.

Special Education Needs
Our well-staffed and experienced SEN Team provides advice and resources to class teachers and parents. When further intervention is required, well-researched programmes are delivered either by a qualified SEN Teacher or a TA closely monitored by the SEN Team. Advice from external agencies is regularly sought and acted upon. We adhere firmly to the principles of early intervention and inclusion. Nov 09

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.
