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

Catwg Primary School is a warm and caring school, where staff place a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. This results in pupils who are very happy and feel safe in the school environment. Across the school, most pupils make good progress in their learning from their individual starting points, including pupils in the hearingimpaired classes (HIC) and those with additional learning needs (ALN). However, the tendency to over-direct the teaching and a lack of challenge impact on the expected progress of more able pupils. Relationships between staff and pupils, and between each other, are exceptional. All pupils are very supportive of each other and have very positive attitudes to school life. They behave extremely well during lessons and when moving around the school. Teachers are beginning to design a rich and varied curriculum, which engages most pupils in their learning. The school provides a good range of extra-curricular activities that develop and enhance a wide range of skills effectively and inspire pupils to take up new interests. These experiences develop pupils’ life skills and well-being positively. Pupils enjoy their lessons, but their contribution towards their own learning is inconsistent across the school and their role as representatives of the pupils is underdeveloped. Most pupils across the school develop strong oracy and reading skills. This is also true of the development of pupils’ comprehensive grasp of number work in mathematics. However, from Year 3 to Year 6, teachers do not provide pupils with sufficient opportunities for them to develop the full range of mathematical concepts consistently. In addition, there are few opportunities for pupils to apply their numeracy skills in other areas of the curriculum. The newly appointed headteacher provides clear strategic leadership. The school’s vision, mission and values are evident in the work of senior leaders, staff and governors. He has developed a strong team ethos where all staff feel valued and are passionate about providing a quality education for all pupils.
