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

Casllwchwr Primary is a caring and nurturing school with the local community at the heart of its activities. Pupils are confident learners that play an active role in the school and its community. All pupils feel that they have a voice through their participation in different learner groups. They are encouraged to look out for each other to ensure that they are ‘ready to learn’, ‘respectful of one another’ and feel ‘safe’. This motto permeates through the whole school community. Leaders are passionate about the local community and engagement with their locality is a strength within the curriculum provision. Pupils feel proud of their local and Welsh heritage and have a secure grasp of the Welsh language. Throughout the school, teachers incorporate the Welsh language into their lessons to a high standard. Over time, most pupils develop strong Welsh language skills and are confident and proud to be Welsh speakers. The curriculum is planned purposefully to ensure that topics are engaging and relevant to the pupils. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning and are developing well as independent learners. However, at times, teachers across the school tend to over-direct the learning, which inhibits the pupils’ ability to apply and develop their skills independently across the curriculum. Many pupils make good progress in developing their literacy, numeracy and digital skills. They develop these skills in authentic learning experiences across the curriculum. Many pupils develop their writing and numeracy skills appropriately throughout the school. However, a minority of pupils’ understanding of mathematical concepts is less developed. Most pupils are articulate and confident speakers. The school is an inclusive and welcoming community. Leaders have high aspirations for all and collaborate and communicate highly effectively with partners to enhance the pupils’ learning experiences. Pupils’ behaviour throughout the school is exemplary.
