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

Plasmarl is a highly inclusive school where pupils thrive. The headteacher is an inspirational and compassionate leader and along with her leadership team, teachers, and support staff she provides outstanding well-being and learning opportunities for pupils. The school community values each child for their individuality and the contributions that they make to the Plasmarl family. Staff create a warm and welcoming environment where pupils feel valued and safe. School leaders know their families well and work sensitively with them to understand the challenges they face and provide appropriate support. There is a strong sense of belonging within the school. School leaders ensure that a rich and purposeful curriculum and high-quality teaching lead to all pupils, including those from lowincome families, making strong progress. The school’s holistic approach to well-being is outstanding. Staff in the nurture classes provide exceptionally high levels of care and support for vulnerable pupils and their families. They plan relevant and bespoke workshops and visitors to school to support pupils and their families. Staff constantly adapt and adjust their practice to improve pupil outcomes. Pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) and social and emotional needs make strong progress as a result of the individualised and expert support they receive from highly skilled and motivated teachers and support staff. This thoughtful and highly effective practice has impacted significantly on pupil attendance and parental engagement, Teachers use purposeful research and enquiry to improve their practice. They reflect on what works well for Plasmarl pupils and skilfully plan exciting and stimulating lessons alongside the pupils. Senior leaders work with teachers to develop highly effective assessment strategies throughout the school. This results in high levels of pupil engagement and strong teaching and learning experiences. There is a shared understanding of what good learning looks like across the school. This enables pupils to develop well as reflective and independent learners. The well-designed curriculum reflects the context of the school. It provides valuable opportunities for pupils to make sense of their learning and to relate what they learn to their own life experiences. Across the school, nearly all pupils achieve well. They develop literacy, mathematical and numeracy skills systematically. Nearly all pupils apply their skills across other areas of the curriculum effectively. The rich and engaging curriculum enables pupils to develop their creativity, thinking and problem-solving skills in purposeful and reallife contexts. Younger pupils’ Welsh language skills develop well. However, older pupils’ use of Welsh language does not develop well enough.
