Source: All attending pupils Pupil Level Annual School Census

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

Saltney Wood Memorial School is a community primary school on the outskirts of the City of Chester on the border between Wales and England. It is maintained by Flintshire local authority. However, the school does admit a minority of pupils from Cheshire. The school describes the area that it serves as one that is generally disadvantaged with some pupils coming from areas of severe deprivation over the border. These pupils are not included in some of the school’s comparative data which only considers pupils living within Wales. There are 186 pupils aged between 3 and 11 on roll, including 17 who attend the part-time nursery. Pupils start in the reception class in the September following their fourth birthday. No pupils come from homes where Welsh is the first language. Seven per cent of pupils come from ethnic minority backgrounds. About 28% of pupils are entitled to free school meals, and this figure is higher than the county and national averages. Twenty-six per cent of pupils have additional learning needs, which is slightly higher than the national average. Four pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The individual school budget per pupil for Saltney Wood Memorial C.P. School in 2012-2013 means that the budget is £3,098 per pupil. The maximum per pupil in the primary schools in Flintshire is £13,748 and the minimum is £2,758. Saltney Wood Memorial C.P. School is 48th out of the 73 primary schools in Flintshire in terms of its school budget per pupil. The school was last inspected during the autumn term of 2006. The current headteacher was appointed in January 2010 and the deputy headteacher in September 2012.
