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

Greenhill Primary School provides pupils with a safe and secure environment. Pupils have high levels of support for their well-being within this inclusive and caring school. Staff develop positive working relationships with pupils which impacts positively on pupils’ well-being, including those in the Specialist Learning Resource Bases (SNRB). Pupils know that adults in the school care for them and that they can turn to them when they face challenges or have difficulties. The school’s curriculum is broad and balanced and there are valuable opportunities for pupils to develop their knowledge, skills, and understanding in a range of learning experiences. Most pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN), those taught in the SNRB classes and those from low-income families, make good progress over time. The youngest pupils make strong progress in developing their vocabulary and are confident when speaking to others about their learning. Teachers model language well and give good opportunities for pupils to develop their oracy skills through stimulating experiences. Nearly all older pupils demonstrate positive listening behaviours. They listen attentively to adults and peers, follow instructions, and respond appropriately to questions and feedback. Most classrooms are productive, active learning environments. This ensures that most pupils focus well during lessons and many develop positive attitudes to learning. Most staff engage pupils well in learning experiences and support them to focus on their work successfully. Teachers ensure that most learning is purposeful and that, it enables pupils to use existing or newly learnt skills appropriately. However, they do not always have high enough expectations of what pupils can achieve. Leaders use a range of suitable self-evaluation processes to identify the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. They have improved certain aspects of the school’s provision successfully for example, the development of the Welsh language. However, these evaluations do not always identify inconsistencies in teaching and learning. Staff work effectively with external agencies to support pupils and their families to improve attendance. However, levels of attendance remain too low and persistent absenteeism is too high.
