This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the Pupil Level Annual School Census collected by the Welsh Government. The data tells us where pupils lived at the time of the last Pupil 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 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:

  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

The school is a happy, caring and homely community. Within the ‘Cadle School Family’, staff work very effectively to provide an inclusive and friendly ethos where pupils are polite and behave respectfully. Pupils’ emotional well-being is the root of all success at the school. The colourful ‘rainbow’ environment promotes positivity successfully, which is reflected in pupils’ attitudes to learning through the school. During their time in school, most pupils make good progress. Pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) and those who attend the specialist teaching facility (STF) make good use of the effective range of learning experiences on offer and make good progress in most areas of learning from their individual starting points. Teachers and learning assistants support all learners in terms of their achievement to develop their literacy and numeracy skills successfully. However, opportunities to develop pupils’ information and communication technology (ICT) skills are not developed well enough. Teachers set clear learning objectives and use a range of original experiences to engage pupils’ interest and enthusiasm well. The school’s curriculum provides a wide range of stimulating activities through all areas of learning and experience. Although teachers use an effective range of teaching methods in their classes, the tendency to over-direct activities, particularly from Reception to Year 2, hinders pupils’ ability to work on tasks independently. In addition, learning and play experiences in the outdoor area to challenge pupils are less well developed. The acting headteacher has shared her vision successfully with stakeholders. She contributes well to ensuring an inclusive and caring environment for all. As a result, she has developed a strong team and there is a clear sense of trust between pupils and staff. The acting headteacher has a sound understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Members of the governing body are very supportive and well informed. Although the school uses the pupil development grant to support all vulnerable pupils in their emotional well-being, there are inconsistencies in the way it used to support all vulnerable learners in developing their skills, particularly those who are more able.
