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

Caersws Community Primary School is a friendly and caring environment where all pupils feel happy and safe. Staff know the pupils well and support their well-being needs effectively. Pupils know who to ask if they need help and there is a strong relationship of trust and respect between them and the staff. Nearly all pupils behave extremely well and have positive attitudes to learning. Staff work very well together to ensure all pupils make good progress during their time at school. Teachers plan engaging and stimulating activities which inspire pupils to learn and develop their skills. They make effective use of the outdoor areas to enhance the provision for all learners and make good use of the locality to teach pupils about the environment, history and culture of the area in which they live. Following these experiences, teachers plan purposeful opportunities for pupils to develop their literacy, numeracy and digital skills across all areas of the curriculum. However, provision for the teaching of Welsh skills are under developed. Teachers plan valuable opportunities for pupils to develop their creative and physical skills which enrich their learning experiences and develop their confidence. However, teachers need to provide more purposeful opportunities for all pupils to lead their own learning. Leaders have a clear vision of how they want to move the school forward. They have a robust system for evaluating the school’s strengths and set ambitious targets for improvement. Leaders emphasise the importance of teamwork in order to raise pupils’ standards and well-being. They make sure that they listen carefully and take on board the views of others. As a result, pupils, parents and school staff feel well supported, included in the decision-making process and that their contributions are valued.
