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

Llantarnam Community Primary School is in Cwmbran in the Torfaen local authority. In November 2016, the school relocated to a new site. The catchment area spans the district of Llantarnam and Oakfield and is currently growing rapidly due to a number of new housing developments around and near the school. There are around 300 pupils on roll, between the ages of three and eleven. This includes 40 nursery pupils who attend the school part-time. There are 11 classes, including 5 mixed-age classes. The three year average for pupils eligible for free school meals is around 18%, which is similar to the Wales average. The school has approximately 18% of pupils on its register of pupils with additional needs. This is lower than the Wales average. Most pupils are of white British ethnicity and a very few pupils have English as an additional language. The long standing headteacher retired at the end of the summer term 2017. The deputy headteacher took on the role of acting headteacher for the autumn term 2017, supported by the new headteacher who became the substantive head in January 2018. The school was last inspected in July 2011.

Most make appropriate progress as they move thorough the school. Nearly all pupils are polite and are eager to interact with visitors. Pupils are provided with a range of opportunities to fulfil positions of responsibility and they do so with enthusiasm and pride. Teachers know their pupils well and respond to both their educational and emotional needs suitably. In a majority of classes teachers provide a range of activities that engage learners. However, in a minority of classes pupils do not always make the progress they are capable of. The headteacher provides the school with exceptional leadership. All staff have valuable opportunities to develop as reflective practitioners through an effective programme of professional development.
