Getting in

Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.

First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.

Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.

Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.

Inspections

Dates are the day each inspection started: Mar 2023 Good · Sep 2017 Ungraded visit · May 2014 Good · Mar 2009 Good · Feb 2006 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report.

Inspection judgements graded Outstanding or Good, and Requires improvement or Inadequate, out of the judgements graded (the overall grade and aggregated judgements are not counted). Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils

Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (1,047 places), from Get Information about Schools.

Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.

Workforce

School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 59, leadership 7.6, teaching assistants 5.34, support staff incl. TAs 35.83, whole workforce 94.83 (114 people), 65 teachers by headcount.

Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.

Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.

• DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
• DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
• Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads

Financials

Academy accounts (AAR) · September 2024 to August 2025.

Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.

CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.

Destinations

Students who finished the stage in the cohort year, followed through the next year: sustained = at least six months in education, an apprenticeship or employment
