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

Christ the King Roman Catholic school provides a warm, inclusive learning environment for its pupils. The sense of belonging to the school community is a strength of the school. The school promotes its values well, linked to its motto, ‘Learning to love, loving to learn’. The school is developing its curriculum to focus on important concepts and to engage and stimulate nearly all learners. The school makes effective use of its extensive outdoor provision, including a forest school area. Recent improvements to reading provision, including a new library, enable pupils to read for pleasure independently. Staff promote pupils’ health and well-being diligently. There are strong opportunities for pupils to develop their physical skills, both in lessons and in the range of extracurricular clubs on offer. Although the curriculum is sufficiently broad, the school has not yet developed aspects of the Expressive Arts systematically enough. Staff encourage pupils to become ambitious, confident learners. There are particularly beneficial opportunities for pupils to develop their oracy and thinking skills. There are regular opportunities for pupils to discuss and debate matters of topical interest. The pupil participation groups, which form the school’s Senedd, are very effective in bringing about positive changes in the school. In these groups, pupils use their own ideas to consider wider aspects of school life and beyond, such as health and nutrition and how to help the local community. However, in lessons, opportunities for pupils to influence how and what they learn are too limited. The headteacher ensures that all staff have beneficial opportunities for professional development so that they can fulfil their roles and support school improvements confidently. Leaders and governors monitor pupil progress and the improvements the school makes conscientiously. They listen to pupils and take the view of parents into account when deciding how best to move the school forward. All staff work very well as a team. They encourage their pupils and know them well. This contributes to the supportive and caring ethos in the school and helps new pupils to settle into the school successfully.
