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

Nearly all pupils are happy and proud to belong to Ysgol Meifod and the surrounding community. They enjoy school and the opportunities it provides. Almost without exception, standards of pupils’ behaviour are excellent. When they join the school, most pupils have good social and communication skills. From their starting points, they generally make suitable progress in most areas of learning during their time at school. In a few instances, pupils make extremely good progress. They particularly enjoy learning experiences that relate to real life contexts that challenge them to think and apply their skills to a high level. However, across the school, pupils do not always receive the right level of challenge. Teachers’ expectations for their learning are not always high enough and at times this limits pupils’ progress. All staff show high levels of care for pupils. They model positive behaviours, develop nurturing relationships, and get to know pupils’ personalities and interests well. Staff provide a broad range of beneficial learning experiences for pupils within and beyond the school day. Increasingly, they take advantage of valuable opportunities to use the local area and community as a powerful stimulus for learning. However, at times and especially for younger pupils, adults tend to direct too much of the learning. Opportunities for pupils to learn through play and to make choices about their learning are limited. The headteacher develops a team and family ethos at the school successfully. Pupils, staff and parents benefit from his caring and approachable leadership style. In partnership with staff and governors, the headteacher seeks out suitable opportunities to improve the school’s work. This includes recent work to improve standards of Welsh at the school. Partnership work with the local cluster of schools is also beneficial, for instance in supporting the school to develop its curriculum. However, the school’s leadership does not currently use improvement processes and professional learning well enough to ensure standards of teaching and learning at the school are as strong as they could be.
