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

Pentrepoeth Primary School is a vibrant and safe community where pupils thrive and enjoy a wide range of engaging and exciting learning experiences. Strong working relationships and deep mutual respect between pupils and staff create a particularly supportive ethos that nurtures exceptionally good behaviour, consideration for others and a culture of high expectations. Most pupils develop exceptionally positive attitudes to learning and this helps them to progress well as they move through the school. Young pupils settle well into the welcoming nursery environment and this establishes good patterns of learning and behaviour that grow from year to year. By the end of their time at the school, pupils’ passion for developing new skills, gaining knowledge and understanding, finding things out and solving problems is clear. Leaders and staff have made strong progress in developing a new curriculum that suits their pupils, their community and their vision. Collaboration between staff within the school and with other schools in the cluster is a strength and benefits their professional learning considerably. Enthusiastic, skilled teachers ensure that pupils benefit from interesting lessons, learn to challenge themselves, and achieve high standards in nearly all areas of the curriculum. Currently however, pupils do not make consistently strong progress in developing their Welsh vocabulary and sentence structures. The school’s leadership team, staff and governors have established a clear vision for the school, based on securing high levels of well-being, good progress and a strong culture of safeguarding. Successful collaboration, a track record of effective school improvement and high expectations enable everyone in the school community to contribute purposefully to achieving that vision.
