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

Castle Park Primary school is a well-led, welcoming place to learn. The headteacher leads a team of teachers and teaching assistants committed to improving all aspects of school life. They work hard to maintain positive relationships between staff and pupils and extend these relationships to form trusting and supportive relationships between school and home. Most pupils enjoy school. They feel safe and listened to and this is reflected in the views of parents who are full of praise for the dedicated staff. Throughout the school, most pupils behave well, engage positively with the wide range of learning experiences and make good progress in their learning. They enjoy exciting opportunities to learn about the world of work from a wide range of people from varied backgrounds who share their skills, talents and career journeys. As a result, pupils develop the confidence and skills to express themselves articulately, share their ideas and justify their decision-making. Across the school, pupils develop positive attitudes to reading and writing and enjoy the many opportunities to be physically active. They use digital devices effectively to support their learning and to produce reports, presentations, graphs and designs. They develop good mathematical skills and knowledge but do not use these skills often enough in their work across the curriculum. Teachers work with their pupils to plan learning experiences that engage them and capture their interests. Many of these experiences allow pupils to explore the issues which affect them and others such as equity and sustainability. From a young age, pupils are keen to do well and to take on new challenges. However, pupils do not generally have enough influence over their own learning and in a few lessons, a minority of pupils do not make the progress they are capable of. Teachers use a range of strategies, such as effective questioning and immediate feedback to enhance learning. Many teachers plan sequences of lessons that support pupils to build their skills progressively in many aspects of their learning. However, teachers’ planning for progression across a few aspects of the school curriculum such as in Welsh and the expressive arts is under-developed.
