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.

It takes in the wider area of Abergavenny town and the local housing estates in the Abergavenny Community First area.

Eleven pupils have a statement of special educational need. Nearly all pupils come from English speaking homes. No pupil speaks Welsh as a first language at home. Around 7% of pupils come from ethnic minority backgrounds. A very few pupils receive support for learning English as an additional language. Seven pupils are looked after by the local authority. The school was last inspected in January 2007. The current headteacher took up post in September 2012.

“Deri View is great”


I chose Deri View for my daughter because of the caring and happy atmosphere. Whenever I go in, the children are well behaved and confident. Since Mrs Davies took over as Head standards have improved and all of Estyn's concerns have been dealt with. My daughter is really happy in school and the facilities are great.
