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

Halfway CP School is a very caring and welcoming school, which promotes inclusivity in a positive atmosphere for pupils and staff. Pupils enjoy activities and tasks, and they are keen to contribute during lessons. This is due to the effective working relationships that exist with their teachers and other staff. Staff promote a high level of support and care for pupils in all aspects of school life, which encourages pupils to consider and improve their own well-being effectively. As a result, pupils’ behaviour is very good. They demonstrate positive attitudes towards their work, which leads to strong engagement in the life of the school and in their own learning. The school helps pupils to develop confidence in themselves as individuals and to respect the feelings of others. The school environment promotes beneficial learning and well-being opportunities, which includes gardening areas within an outdoor ‘Learning Village’. Teaching helps pupils to make good progress in developing their speaking, listening, reading and digital skills. Pupils also develop suitable independent writing skills and their numeracy skills across the curriculum are satisfactory. However, the quality of feedback from teachers does not impact well enough on the next steps in pupils’ learning. The headteacher provides strong leadership. She is motivated and determined to succeed for the benefit of the pupils and the community. The deputy headteacher, staff and governors share her clear vision. They work together cohesively to ensure that the school is a thriving learning community that provides positive opportunities for its pupils. The headteacher shares responsibilities effectively among staff and this contributes to a positive whole-school ethos, where staff and pupils feel valued for their contributions to school life. Leaders evaluate the school's work carefully and plan for improvements thoroughly, using established self-evaluation processes. These evaluation and monitoring practices lead to purposeful professional learning opportunities for staff.
