Special Education Needs
The Weald Curriculum Support department is situated in a large, airy room on the first floor. Pupils use this room for a range of reasons: they may be having 1:2 literacy lessons with our specialist literacy tutor, or sessions on our SuccessMaker computer programme. Other groups that run are the Spelling Mastery small group course and the Reading Recovery programme, which is also a small group exercise. We also cater for pupils who are temporarily disabled because of broken limbs, recovering from long-term illness, although access to the first floor can be very difficult if a leg is in full plaster. Other pupils using our Curriculum Support facility, will be on shortened timetables. Thus some pupils in Key Stage 4 may be taking a reduced number of GCSEs. Pupils in Key Stage 3 may have been allowed to drop a second foreign language. We also provide a safe haven in this room for any pupil deemed by the Year Head to be in need of comforting.
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.
