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

Sketty Primary School is a caring, inclusive school that aims to support pupils to reach their full potential and ‘be the best that they can be.’ Most pupils including those with additional learning needs (ALN) make strong progress from their individual starting points and nearly all pupils develop their creative skills particularly well. The school’s curriculum promotes a strong sense of belonging, equity and diversity. Teachers listen carefully to pupils’ ideas and suggestions and this ensures that the curriculum is authentic and meaningful to pupils. As a result, nearly all pupils engage enthusiastically with their learning and they begin to develop appropriate aspirations for the future. Provision to develop pupils’ creative skills is a strength. Nearly all pupils behave well and participate enthusiastically in the school’s various pupil voice committees and school council. Pupils’ rights as children are embedded in the school’s curriculum and this helps pupils to form their own opinions on a range of local and World issues. Teachers and support staff are skilful and support pupils to develop a broad range of skills well across the curriculum. However, provision to develop pupils’ speaking skills in Welsh is less well-developed. The school places strong emphasis on supporting the well-being of all. Leaders and staff adopt a beneficial community focused approach providing a range of support for individual pupils and their families. Provision for pupils with ALN is a strength and leaders ensure that provision is suitably adapted to meet pupil needs. There is a strong culture of safeguarding and leaders robustly monitor pupil attendance. The school is well-led by the headteacher, deputy headteacher and team of senior leaders who work purposefully alongside the governing body to secure improvements for the school. Together, they understand school strengths and areas for development and plan appropriate strategic actions to secure improvement. However, leaders’ work to monitor the impact of improvement work on improving pupils’ learning and progress is at an early stage of development.
