What The Good Schools Guide says..
The community feel is palpable, with down-to-earth staff and pupils and lots of laughter. Nobody stands on ceremony here. In fact, nobody really notices you as there’s so much going on – a year 6 flash mob suddenly burst into spontaneous dance at breaktime during our visit, while every classroom and hall, along with many of the corridors, was buzzing with activity during lesson time. Nobody denies the move to three form entry hasn’t been challenging – the school was originally built for one class per year group. At times, it can feel like it’s bursting at the seams, but the head has ...

Head
Since 2014, Sally Flowers, previously deputy head. She joined the school as assistant head in 2011. Prior to that, she was an educational consultant for nine years and before that she taught in mainly London schools. Did a BA in anthropology and history at Kent, her PGCE at Sussex and an educational psychology degree via Open University. Particularly loved consultancy (‘I love training people’) but now happier being settled and making a difference in just one 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.
