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

Danygraig Primary School is the cornerstone of the community with well-being at its heart. Pupils and their families have a strong sense of pride when they talk about the school. Within the inclusive environment everyone is respected. Most pupils are sociable, and, during their time at the school, develop positive attitudes to learning. Nearly all pupils feel safe and enjoy being at school. Leaders and staff know pupils well and use this information to ensure that all pupils are cared for. There are positive relationships between pupils and staff. Nearly all pupils show a responsible attitude and demonstrate good behaviour. During their time in school, many pupils make good progress including those with additional learning needs (ALN), those who have English as an additional language (EAL) and pupils that attend the specialist training facility (STF). From varied starting points when they first join the school, many pupils in main stream are beginning to build a purposeful range of skills, such as literacy and numeracy and apply them across the curriculum. Pupils are beginning to use their knowledge of Welsh appropriately in lessons. However, across the school, pupils do not make enough progress in reading and their digital skills are underdeveloped. The headteacher, staff and governors work together effectively. They generally have a good understanding of the school’s strengths and priorities for improvement. The school has developed a purposeful curriculum for its pupils. Staff plan a variety of interesting opportunities for pupils to build on their knowledge and understanding successfully. Pupils show high levels of interest in their lessons and participate with enthusiasm. However, teachers do not plan well enough to challenge all pupils, particularly the more able. As a result, they do not make the progress they are capable of.
