Source: All attending pupils Pupil Level Annual School Census

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

Evenlode Primary School is a caring and inclusive environment with positive relationships between pupils and staff. This creates a friendly and supportive atmosphere where pupils feel valued. The school offers strong support for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN), including effective provision for emotional and social well-being. All staff have clear expectations for pupils, and this ensures that they behave well and engage purposefully in lessons. As a result, most pupils make strong progress during their time at school. Leaders and governors are effective, demonstrating a clear vision and a strong commitment to improving standards. The school reflects continuously on its work and ensures that robust processes are in place to monitor pupil progress. Teachers work well together to create an engaging and balanced curriculum that encourages pupils’ curiosity. Pupils are confident speakers and attentive listeners. From a young age, they eagerly share their ideas and express themselves clearly. As they progress, they collaborate effectively and articulate their thoughts and ideas with growing sophistication. Across the school, many pupils read a variety of texts well, with increasing fluency and confidence. Their writing skills are well developed, with older pupils using language thoughtfully and creatively. The school is working hard to improve its provision for teaching Welsh, but overall, pupils’ language skills do not progress quickly enough. Pupils are developing as confident mathematicians and are beginning to apply their skills effectively. However, opportunities to deepen and extend these skills independently across the curriculum are underdeveloped. The school uses its resources effectively. Classrooms are well equipped and the outdoor learning areas are stimulating and engaging. Staff know their pupils well and use a range of strategies to engage them in their learning. A particular strength is the nursery, and early foundation learning, where staff engage the youngest pupils in thoughtful, guided activities that promote independence and curiosity. The school develops strong partnerships with parents, actively involving them in school activities and decision-making processes. This collaboration ensures that parents are well informed and contribute to a supportive community that improves the educational experiences for all pupils.
