What The Good Schools Guide says..
Crouch End is cool and media savvy – the school’s Glastonbury-themed fête gives you a clue, as does a recent outing to The Guardian newspaper (where else?). Sports and games considered fundamental for healthy living and esprit de corps, as well as ‘an integral part of the equal-opportunities practice’ (so girls encouraged to play football, boys to dance). ‘Standards are high, but they still make it fun,’ said one mother. ‘They’re very aware of not putting too much pressure on the children'...

Head
Since 2014, Leon Cheouke BA PGCE (40s). After a first degree in community studies at Manchester and a PGCE at Goldsmiths University of London, Mr Cheouke arrived at Coleridge in 2000 and, apart from a year teaching in New Zealand, has been there ever since, working formerly as deputy to his long-serving and popular predecessor. Continuity and growth have been his model. ‘He said he wasn’t going to change much and he hasn’t,’ said one parent. ‘He’s kept the best bits, really listened to what parents want and cares about all the children rather than statistics.’ Keen on politics, Dr Who and vinyl.

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.
