Special Education Needs
Chestnut Street CE primary school has a very good reputation for supporting children with special needs. We have experience in supporting a wide range of needs, having at present 13 children with statements for a wide range of issues. This is testimony to the number of parents with children with statements who positively choose this school for their children. Our last two OFSTED reports singled out SEN provision as 'excellent' and 'very good', and our SENCO is very experienced and has excellent contact with all agencies supporting SEN in Lincolnshire. We are a fully inclusive school and have entered into partnership with a special school in order to provide a child with significant needs an opportunity to be in mainstream education for part of the week. We are also very fortunate to have an excellent team of teaching assistants with expertise in supporting children with SEN. Our SENCO is recognised by the LA for her very good practice and has been consulted on many aspects of SEN provision.
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.
