This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Pupils at this school work hard and achieve well. They gain qualifications in a wide range of subjects, and this helps them to be well prepared for their next stage in education and/or employment. Pupils benefit from having teachers who have very strong subject knowledge and who design learning activities carefully. Pupils behave well in lessons and say that disruption to learning is very rare. Pupils feel safe in this school. They know who to talk to if they have a concern, and they are taught how to make healthy and safe choices. Pupils take advantage of a wide range of activities that enrich and extend the curriculum, for example the popular Lit Fest celebrating reading and literature. There are numerous clubs and after-school activities. Pupils are also given the opportunity to take on leadership roles in the school, such as being a prefect or member of the school council. However, a few pupils say that they feel their concerns are not listened to. Diversity is celebrated, but leaders are not complacent and are taking steps to further develop the curriculum so that it reflects the whole school community.

We are a high achieving school which focuses on excellent teaching and learning and high standards of behaviour. All girls are given opportunities to develop their interests and talents in a wide variety of extra curricular activities and above all, they are safe and secure.

In summer 2016, 75% of all students achieved 5 or more A* to C grades with 68% both English and MathsThis year, the government has introduced a new measure called ‘Progress 8’ which looks at the progress made in each pupil’s best 8 subjects. Our score is +0.45 which we believe to be outstanding. We are delighted that 75% of all students achieved 5 or more A* to C grades with 68% both English and Maths. For the fourth year running, more than 20% of the girls achieved more than 5A*/A grades and 41% secured the prestigious English Baccalaureate qualification which requires them to achieve C grade or above in English, Maths, Science, a Modern Foreign Language and History or Geography.

Students from 6thform@Swakeleys have achieved 100 % pass at A level for the sixth year running! We are delighted with the results of Year 13 students who have achieved 65% A*/B and 91% A*/C
grades.

We are extremely proud of the achievements of all of our students both male and female. This year, more than any other there are tremendous results across all departments with 20 subjects achieving 100% A* – C grades and 12 subjects achieving more than 75% A*/B grades. AS results were particularly impressive in the light of the recent changes made to the qualification. Our pass rate leapt to 96%!
