How have we plotted this catchment area map?

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:

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.
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.

School Description

All pupils thoroughly enjoy coming to Cantref Primary school every day. They enter their classrooms with gusto, ready to begin learning. All pupils look out for each other and the relationship between the older and younger pupils is a strength of the school. The caring attitudes of pupils and staff contribute positively to the inclusive and welcoming community, where pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. Nearly all pupils make good progress from their starting points during their time in school. They are articulate and confident speakers who engage well in their work. The mutually respectful and positive relationships that exist amongst staff, and staff and pupils, also enhance pupils’ learning successfully. The pupils’ enthusiasm for learning is a result of the vibrant teaching. Teachers plan engaging activities for pupils to enable them to make effective progress in their literacy, numeracy and digital skills. They provide pupils with numerous opportunities to build on their knowledge and understanding but, generally, the whole school approach to meeting the requirements of the Curriculum for Wales lacks clarity. In addition, teachers’ feedback does not always provide opportunities for pupils to reflect on their work and make improvements. Staff use the indoor and outdoor environments well to support engaging learning opportunities. In particular, their use of the school grounds provides innovative experiences for pupils to learn in authentic and meaningful contexts. Staff nurture and provide effective support and guidance for pupils in all aspects of school life. The school provides an extensive range of extra-curricular activities that develop and enhance a wide range of skills effectively and inspires pupils to take up new interests. These experiences develop the pupils’ life skills and well-being very successfully. The headteacher provides strong and effective leadership. The senior leadership team and governors share his clear vision, and all staff work effectively with them to secure the best provision possible to improve pupils’ outcomes.
