What the numbers mean
Context for the headline stats above — what each number means in practice.
Free School Meals
10.4%
National: 24.6%
10.4% of pupils are eligible for Free School Meals — less than half the national rate of 24.6%. Catchment income tends to be above the regional median. Doesn't say anything about the school's pedagogy or how it supports families from different backgrounds.
Capacity
107%
425 of 397 places
The school is at or just over its published capacity (425 pupils, 397 places). Full or slightly over-full is common in well-regarded schools and is usually a sign of strong demand.
Pupils per year
~55
across 8 year groups
With 425 pupils across 8 year groups, this works out to about ~55 pupils per year. A useful proxy for class size, but not the same — actual classes may split year groups by subject or ability.
Where Ofsted and parents disagree
When inspectors' judgements and the parent survey point in different directions, it usually signals an area worth probing at the open day. Each gap below is real, not a margin-of-error artifact.
Bullying
Ofsted: Ofsted rated Behaviour and attitudes "Outstanding" at the most recent inspection — meaning inspectors did not find systemic concerns.
Parents: Of parents who answered, 35% disagreed that "bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively".
A gap like this often means the issue sits below the threshold Ofsted measures (school-wide policy and culture) but is real enough for individual families. Worth asking specifically at the open day: "Tell me about the last time you dealt with a bullying incident — what happened, and how was the parent informed?"
SEND support
Ofsted: Ofsted rated Personal development "Outstanding" and Quality of education "Outstanding".
Parents: Of parents of SEND children who answered, 29% disagreed that the school provides the support their child needs.
Ofsted assesses provision broadly; SEND parents often have a much more specific view based on EHCP delivery, TA support, and communication. If your child has SEND, ask to meet the SENCo before applying and request examples of how recent EHCPs have been resourced.
Source: Derived by Classpot from DfE school record + national averages (2024). Thresholds here (FSM bands, capacity flags, gap detection) are fixed and applied the same way to every school. The Ofsted summary is the report's only AI-written section — its source and generation date are shown there.

Ofsted summary
What inspectors said
Powered by AIThis summary was generated by AI from the November 2024 Ofsted inspection report, on 20 May 2026.
Strengths
Inspectors observed that pupils are proud to be part of this warm school community, displaying exemplary behaviour and strong relationships with adults. The school is very ambitious, and pupils achieve exceptional standards, including those with special educational needs. For example, pupils in Year 4 read historical fiction about Pompeii, which expands their understanding of this period in time. Pupils enjoy a vast range of activities, such as coding, football, and choir, and develop character through fundraising for local causes.
Concerns
Inspectors did not identify specific areas requiring improvement in this report. The report notes that the school has been deliberate in weaving pupils’ interests into reading texts and that leaders give fair consideration to staff well-being and workload. All aspects of the school’s provision, including behaviour, personal development, and leadership, were judged to be outstanding.
Context
Overall, the inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education, with pupils achieving exceptionally well and developing into mature, independent individuals. Safeguarding arrangements are effective.
How this was put together. The structure above (Strengths / Concerns / Context) was generated by Classpot AI from the public inspection report. The full report includes more context — read it at reports.ofsted.gov.uk.

A note on league tables. Rankings reward schools with affluent catchments and academic-focused intakes. A school ranked lower may still be excellent for your child — especially if it accepts a broader range of starting points. Compare with the Progress score to see how much pupils improved, not just how well they scored.

How to read this. School-level heritage shares largely mirror the surrounding catchment area. A school in a less diverse part of the country will show less diversity, regardless of its policies or culture. To understand actual classroom experience — pastoral support, inclusivity, how the school handles cultural events — visit the school or ask current parents.

Catchment
Last child offered a place
From Westshire admissions data · 2025/26
Historical catchment cutoff
0.19 miles (0.31 km)
The furthest pupil offered a place in the published intake. If you live closer than this, you have a strong chance via distance criteria — sibling, faith, and EHCP priorities take precedence in most LAs.
Distance is straight-line ("as the crow flies"). Walking distance will be longer. Catchment boundaries vary year to year — last year's cutoff is the best public proxy for this year.

Questions to ask
The published data covers structure and history. These cover day-to-day things that affect families most but rarely appear in inspection reports.
Daily life
01
What does a typical school day look like — start time, end time, breakfast and after-school care availability and cost?
02
What is the expected total uniform cost for a year, and where are branded items purchased?
03
What clubs run during lunchtimes and after school? Are they free or paid?
Communication
04
How are parents kept informed of progress and incidents — which app or platform, how often?
05
Has there been recent senior leadership change — head, deputies, or SENCo? When did they start?
Teaching & outcomes
06
How does the school identify and stretch able pupils, beyond the published curriculum?
07
How is phonics taught and what proportion of pupils reach the expected standard in Year 1?
08
How has the pupil roll changed over the last three years, and is the school expecting to expand or contract?
09
How does the school work with the local secondary schools — any feeder links or formal transition support?
