What The Good Schools Guide says..
It is hard to believe this is such a big school – it is so quiet! The atmosphere is calm and the building is modern, functional and well-ordered. SMRT is clear about its high expectations for creating a school community of hope based on Christian principles and featuring good relationships, safe boundaries and empowered learning. Humanities have always been a strength; SMRT became one of the first humanities specialist schools in the country in 2004 and has worked with other secondaries to support them in these subjects. Unsurprisingly, there is…

Headteacher

Has worked in several schools in the south-west, most notably as deputy at Marlwood School, which was the subject of a BBC documentary during which the head resigned and Mr Planter found himself in the hot seat.

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.
