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

Hendrefoilan Primary School is a calm and happy place where pupils make good progress and achieve well. Staff develop strong working relationships with pupils and the community. Pupils of all ages are friendly polite, and talk about their learning confidently. The school celebrates diversity and ensures that everyone is treated equally. The headteacher is well supported by the governing body. Together they ensure that pupils’ well-being and achievement are at the heart of the school's work. Leaders accurately identify and secure improvement in many of the areas of the school’s work most in need of attention. However, they do not always identify a few important areas in need of further development. Teachers plan interesting lessons that ensure that most pupils are engaged suitably in their learning. Teachers provide pupils with clear learning intentions at the start of lessons, and valuable feedback. As a result, most pupils know what they do well and what they need to do next to improve their work. However, teachers across the school do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to develop appropriately as independent learners. In a minority of foundation learning lessons, teachers do not provide the correct balance between activities planned by the teachers and activities that are led by the pupils. A minority of teachers do not understand how pupils learn through play well enough. Leaders and teachers, in collaboration with local schools, have designed a curriculum that meets the needs of pupils well. Teachers plan successfully to ensure that pupils build on their learning to make strong progress in literacy, mathematical and digital skills. However, teachers do not plan enough opportunities for pupils to apply their numeracy skills across the curriculum. Most pupils develop their Welsh language skills appropriately and are proud of their success in learning other languages. By the time they reach Year 6, most pupils make good progress in each area of learning and experience (AoLE).
