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

Radnor Primary School is a caring and inclusive community where pupils and families feel respected and valued. The school provides beneficial opportunities for pupils to reflect on important values, such as equity and diversity. Pupils behave well and are respectful to teachers, their peers, and visitors. Relationships between staff, pupils, governors and parents are strong. This creates a thoughtful and supportive environment for all pupils and their families. Many pupils enter the school with literacy and numeracy skills at the expected level or above. As pupils move through the school, they make suitable progress in most aspects of learning. They develop strong oracy and reading skills and an appropriate understanding of mathematical concepts. However, progress in their writing skills is not as strong, as adults do not always provide pupils with enough opportunity to write at length and across sufficient areas of the curriculum. The school places an emphasis on developing a healthy lifestyle for the whole-school community. As a result, pupils’ understanding of healthy living and the importance of being fit and active are outstanding. The school utilises the limited space it has exceptionally well to support pupils to be physically active throughout the school day. This is a notable feature of the school. Provision for pupils with additional needs and those new to English are successful. The school involves parents, staff and outside agencies to ensure that planning for individual needs is effective. As a result, most pupils with additional needs and early language skills make good progress in their learning. The school delivers a bespoke curriculum incorporating their local area well. It utilises the culturally diverse nature of their school and Wales effectively. Most teachers plan interesting and authentic learning experiences that build on pupils’ existing knowledge and understanding. However, the use of assessment and feedback varies across the school. In a few classes, pupils struggle to verbalise what they have done well or what they could do to improve their learning. The headteacher provides effective leadership and encourages a strong team ethos within the school. Leaders work well with the governing body to review strengths and areas for improvements within the school.However, leaders do not always ensure that the features of the most effective teaching are shared and implemented consistently across the school.
