Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre Report
The school is much larger than the average–sized secondary school. The majority of pupils are White British and only a small proportion is from minority ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is below average. The pupil premium is additional funding from the government to ensure that certain groups of pupils, such as those receiving free school meals, who may be at a disadvantage are able to achieve as well as others. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs who are supported at school action is well below the national average. The proportion at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The school meets the current floor standards, which are the government's minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school makes arrangements for a small group of students in Years 10 and 11 to access alternative provision or courses of a vocational nature on a part-time basis in other local institutions. Courses attended include hairdressing, vehicle maintenance and animal care. Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre converted to become an academy on 1 April 2012. When its predecessor school, of the same name, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be satisfactory overall.

How have we plotted this pupil heat map?
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 last School Census (released annually in July).
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 areas from which pupils are admitted to a school can change from year to year to reflect the number of siblings and pupils admitted under high priority admissions criteria.
3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:
Look at our 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 last School Census.
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.
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.
See Pupil heat maps FAQs for more information about the source of pupil heat map data.
