Special Education Needs
Culverhill School is a special school located in Yate, South Gloucestershire, providing high-quality and holistic education for 145 pupils aged 7 to 16 with complex learning difficulties. The curriculum balances academic subjects with vocational training, life skills, employability learning, personal development, and emotional health and well-being support, aiming to prepare students for independent lives and meaningful employment as young adults. All students have an EHCP addressing coexisting complex needs, particularly speech, language, and communication needs. We emphasise understanding how children learn best whilst overcoming challenges to maximise their learning potential. Culverhill School operates as an academy within the Enable Trust, which strives to improve outcomes, opportunities, and life chances for pupils across its schools and beyond. The school day is structured to include core subjects in the morning and vocational subjects in the afternoon.
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.
