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

Cwmfelinfach Primary School is federated with Ynysddu Primary School. The headteacher works across both sites and is supported by a deputy headteacher at the Cwmfelinfach site and deputy headteacher at the Ynysddu site. Although the schools are part of one federation, they take pride in the fact that they have their own unique identity and community. With the enthusiastic support of the staff, the headteacher has created a clear vision based on ensuring that pupils have every opportunity to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. They know their pupils well and strive to ensure that all pupils feel safe and know where to turn if they have a problem. All staff across the federation work together purposefully to provide a curriculum that meets the needs of most learners. Teachers provide learning experiences that support pupils to make strong progress in their literacy, numeracy, and digital skills. However, staff across the federation do not provide pupils with enough opportunities to develop their Welsh oracy skills in authentic contexts. Most pupils make very good progress in the school’s warm and caring environment. They behave exceptionally well, treating each other, staff, and visitors with the upmost respect. Pupils enjoy the wide range of stimulating and engaging learning experiences that are provided for them. They work effectively in the learning areas and contribute maturely to class discussions. Most pupils concentrate well and engage conscientiously when responding to challenges independently in their work. They use the comments given by staff purposefully when drafting and editing their work, effectively improving the quality of the written work. As a result, many pupils’ writing skills develop successfully during their time at the school.
