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

Nantymoel Primary School is a caring and inclusive school, which encourages pupils to learn in a positive atmosphere and to be happy. This is clearly reflected in the school’s vision, ‘Laugh, Learn and Achieve’. Pupils’ readiness to learn during lessons is good and this is due to the strong working relationships that exist with their teachers and other staff and their knowledge that all staff care deeply for them. All staff provide a high level of support and care for pupils in all aspects of school life. This encourages pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and well-being. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary, and they are determined to persevere and learn successfully. As a result, they develop effective literacy and numeracy skills. In the younger classes, teachers are beginning to develop authentic opportunities, which reflect the Curriculum for Wales and its four purposes. In the older classes, pupils do not have enough opportunities to use their literacy, numeracy and digital skills in other areas of learning. In addition, teachers regularly structure activities too tightly and guide pupils’ learning too much. As a result, they do not generally use these skills as well as they could and there are few opportunities for pupils to become independent learners. Governors know the school very well and fulfil their role as critical friend, asking challenging questions about decision-making, which supports the headteacher in moving the school forward. Parents know that the headteacher and governors make decisions in the best interests of the pupils. However, leadership at all levels is under-developed and, although the school is addressing the additional learning needs reform suitably, it is not moving quickly enough in addressing the Curriculum for Wales.
