Special Education Needs
The Department has three specialist teachers who can offer one to one teaching for pupils statemented or at School Action Plus with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, General Learning Difficulties and Hearing Impairment. We have ten Teaching Assistants who support pupils with learning difficulties in the classroom. The SENco provides small group teaching for pupils at School Action who are below a reading age of ten and a spelling age of nine in our screening tests. We use the Macmillan Group reading Test and the vernon Spelling test to ascertain the reading and spelling ages of all our Year 7 pupils. This screening process often highlights difficulties which have not been apparent in the primary setting. We have four Learning Mentors whose role is to ensure a smooth transition for all year 7 pupils. The SEN department offers a nurturing environment for those vulnerable pupils who find the transition from a small primary school to a large secondary school overwhelming.
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.
