What The Good Schools Guide says..
Teachers here are renowned for keeping things relevant and up to date: ‘Everything relates to the world outside these walls,’ one explained, ‘we look outward from every aspect - academic, extracurricular and pastoral in preparing our students for work in the modern world.’ School is imbued with pastoral touches - a food bank in the lobby, ‘pebble table’ with inspirational sentiments scribed onto stones and a ‘pledge wall’, which we watched being updated by two students who shared pen and paper to write ‘We pledge to be more inclusive’ before high fiving and departing, chattering animatedly.

Headteacher
Since 2016, Jacqueline Cornell BA PGCE. Received a ‘lovely schooling’ at local comprehensive in Mildenhall, near Newmarket, where her mother was the head’s PA and ‘seamstress for school productions.’ History degree from Hull and PGCE from Nottingham (when educational sales job ‘didn’t inspire’). ‘I love the impact our profession has on young people’ and that ‘no two days are the same,’ she told us. Honed her craft with ‘really varied, true comprehensive experiences’, before moving to grammar sector. ‘Enjoyed’ King Edward VI Camp Hill Girls and Five Ways School Birmingham as head of sixth form but ‘jumped at the opportunity’ for deputy headship here and, despite ‘never setting sights’ on headship, accepted internal promotion six years later. ‘There was a job to do in moving the school forward ‒ I didn’t want to watch...

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.

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.
