What the school says...
Eastfield Primary is a school fully committed to equality of provision. We do not have specific Special Needs classes, but the high ratio of support assistants and adults to children successfully manages and integrates children with a variety of academic,medical and behavioural problems to the benefit of all children. We strongly support the Arts and have a tradition of musical and theatrical events. ...Read more

Special Education Needs
One third of the children in our school receive 1:1 or small group support from the SENCO and her team of 14 Support Assistants. The ratio of available adult to child help is high for an ordinary Primary school. We have had a spectrum of Special Needs disabilities over the years and the team are very experienced and have many skills. Staff are continuously updating qualifications and learning new skills. All our children take part in the full curriculum and extra activities. It is a happy caring environment where children enjoy their studies and value their time with adults. Children, who start in our Nursery make significant progress in school.
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.
