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

The headteacher demonstrates strong leadership and along with other school leaders works well together towards fulfilling their vision to provide a caring, thoughtful, happy and secure environment for pupils. This culture enables most pupils to develop their confidence and self-assurance effectively. They are supported successfully by keen teachers and helpful support staff, who encourage pupils to develop a range of skills appropriately. While most pupils make effective progress in many areas of learning by Year 6, their progress through the school is not strong in all classes. Llanfoist Primary is a happy school where nearly all pupils treat each other, staff and visitors with politeness and respect. Their behaviour is exceptional and most are eager to undertake their tasks enthusiastically. Staff have a good understanding of pupils’ needs and, through joint planning, they prepare interesting activities that engage pupils’ interests. However, at times, provision does not always allow pupils to develop their independent learning skills. Most younger pupils make good progress in their language, mathematics and digital skills. They talk confidently to adults about their work and enjoy taking part in a variety of learning experiences. As they travel through the school, most older pupils become very articulate and read well for pleasure and research. Most continue to make sound progress in a range of skills. However, across the school, many pupils do not make the best possible progress in their Welsh speaking skills. Llanfoist Primary federated with another nearby primary school, Llanfihangel Primary. They share the same governing body and the same headteacher, who splits his time between both sites. The governing body discharges its duties diligently, for example by conducting site visits, and governors have a suitable understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. As a federation, leaders ensure that there are many opportunities for all staff to collaborate. For example, by working together they are well on their way to implementing a curriculum that is real and reflects the needs of both communities. Overall, leaders keep the work of the school under review appropriately. They evaluate lessons and the pupils’ learning in books across both schools. Looking ahead, leaders and staff recognise that by refining their approaches to this work they can focus more sharply on evaluating the difference that teaching makes to pupils’ progress and discover what important areas of the school’s work need to improve.
