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

St David’s R.C. Primary School is a happy, caring and welcoming school that has pupils’ well-being at its heart. Its vision for ‘Learning, Loving, Laughing – Following in the footsteps of Jesus’ permeates through the whole school community. Staff and pupils feel valued and are an integral part of school improvement processes. Leaders encourage purposeful collaboration in their drive to develop the school as one where staff are continuously learning. They encourage both pupils and staff to lead individual research enquiries to support their learning. The school leads professional learning in Welsh across the cluster to develop pupils as bilingual citizens. Throughout the school, teachers incorporate the Welsh language into their lessons to a high standard. Over time, most pupils develop strong Welsh language skills and are confident and proud to be Welsh. Teachers have created interesting learning environments in classrooms and in the outside areas. Teachers make good use of the outdoor environment to enhance pupils’ learning experiences and to develop their well-being and creativity. Pupils are thoroughly engaged in their learning and they describe their learning as fun. Many pupils are an active part of their learning and respond effectively to verbal feedback. However, feedback does not always help pupils to know how well they are doing and how to improve their work. The school is an inclusive, accessible and supportive community. Leaders have high aspirations for all and collaborate and communicate highly effectively with partners to enhance the pupils’ learning experiences and to support their well-being.
