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

Llwynypia Primary School is a happy, inclusive school that places a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. Nearly all pupils feel safe in school and know who to go to if they are worried. Many pupils show good levels of interest in their lessons and enjoy the opportunities they have to improve their school as part of a range of pupil voice groups. There is a strong emphasis on community, and families greatly appreciate the role the school plays in their lives. There is a high level of care and respect amongst pupils, staff and governors, and this has a very positive influence on pupils’ attitudes and behaviours. Most pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN) and those eligible for free school meals, make good progress in their literacy and numeracy skills, and the school’s provision for developing these core skills is a strength. Teachers provide a range of learning experiences that engage pupils’ interest and make good use of the local community. Staff deliver suitable lessons that build progressively on what pupils know. However, opportunities for pupils to apply their literacy, numeracy and digital skills across all areas of the curriculum are underdeveloped. As a result, many older pupils lack confidence in the application of their skills in real-life situations. Staff have strong relationships with pupils. They use positive encouragement, and they praise pupils for their achievements. In a few cases, staff provide worthwhile feedback to pupils. However, overall, the feedback to pupils does not support them to identify their next steps and improve their independent learning skills well enough. Leaders provide appropriate strategic direction for the school’s work and are beginning to address national priorities such as curriculum reform suitably. Leaders provide opportunities for staff to collaborate well together to contribute to improvement work, and they undertake suitable monitoring activities. However, school improvement planning lacks precision. Leaders generally try to address too many priorities at the same time and do not always provide clarity for staff about what they expect to see in their improvement actions. Governors play a very supportive role in the development of the school and help to ensure that it meets the many needs of its community well. Despite the staff’s efforts to encourage all pupils to attend school regularly, the rates of attendance remain too low.
