How it is worked outThe bars show how far the last place offered reached each year. A full bar means everyone who applied was offered a place; a dash means we hold no distance for that year. Your postcode is set against each year's last distance.

Things to know
  • A record of past years, not a promise: the distance changes every year with who applies.

Offers

How far offers reached

How far away the last child offered a place under the distance rule lived, as the council measures it. It changes every year with who applies: a record, not a promise. Children with a higher priority can be offered places from further away.

Admissions

Getting in

  • We hold no catchment map for this school, so we can't say which addresses are inside it.
  • We can't tell how far Year 3 places reached: we hold no offer-day figures for this school. Ask the council or the school for the last distance offered.

Who runs it

i

SourceDfE, Get Information about Schools: group links · joined July 2025
DfE, open academies list
DfE, Get Information about Schools: links · 1 February 2025

  • Embark Multi Academy Trust, with 29 schools
  • Opened as an academy (converter) on 1 July 2025
  • Replaced Glebe Junior School (URN 112624)
  • We can't compare results before and after it converted: we hold results for only one side of the date, because DfE publishes a few years at a time.

Fees and clubs

State schools charge no tuition fees. Breakfast clubs, after-school clubs and holiday clubs are set by each school: ask the school what it runs and what it costs.
