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.

Most have positive attitudes to learning and treat each other with care and respect. However, pupils’ ability to use their numeracy and literacy skills purposefully in other areas of learning is underdeveloped. Most teachers provide interesting learning experiences that motivate pupils to learn, but do not always provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to work independently and to take greater responsibility for their learning. The headteacher has worked well with new leaders, staff and governors to improve the provision and standards in important areas. They have developed a culture of continuous improvement with a strong emphasis on providing quality professional development for all staff. Leaders have established useful procedures to analyse the work of the school well and to identify areas for development effectively. All staff are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities and contribute successfully to implementing the school’s improvement plan. This has enabled the school to address important areas for improvement in a short period.
