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

Glais Primary School is a warm and welcoming school with a family feel and where staff know the pupils well and strive to meet their needs. There is a clear focus on promoting pupils’ well-being. This helps to make pupils confident learners who are keen to have a go at new things and to take on leadership roles willingly as they move through the school. Pupils are caring towards each other. Older pupils give their time to younger pupils and run clubs and activities that interest them. Pupils have a powerful voice in the school and influence what and how they would like to learn as well as aspects of the school’s day-to-day organisation. Most pupils make strong progress in their learning, particularly in developing their speaking and listening skills in English and mathematical and problem-solving skills. Teachers have made very good progress in designing and implementing a new curriculum in line with the requirements of the Curriculum for Wales, but a few aspects, such as ensuring that staff make pupils aware of online safety measures regularly, are currently not in place. Lessons are interesting and fun, but activities do not provide all pupils with the right level of challenge or support consistently. Despite a period of instability, and a breakdown in a few key working relationships, leaders and staff have continued to make good progress towards national priorities, such as developing a curriculum and raising the importance of reading across the school. Leaders and teachers monitor the school’s work robustly, but their monitoring does not always focus well enough on the impact of the provision on the progress that pupils make. The recently introduced opportunities for parents to share their opinions and to see their children at work on a normal school day have helped them to gain a clearer understanding of the school’s work and how to support their child at home.
