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 Aidan’s Church in Wales VA School is a friendly and caring school, which promotes an inclusive ethos successfully. Pupils enjoy learning in a positive atmosphere, and they are enthusiastic during lessons and tasks. This is due to the strong working relationships that they have with their teachers and other staff. This promotes effective learning, a strong sense of well-being and good progress. As a result, pupils develop appropriate extended writing skills and their speaking, listening, reading, numeracy, and digital skills are good. Pupils’ outcomes are particularly successful where the teaching is consistent and stimulates pupils’ learning. Additionally, pupils respond enthusiastically when they receive feedback that is purposeful and challenges them to perform at their best. However, where inconsistencies occur, the teaching and feedback do not help pupils improve their work effectively. Staff demonstrate positive attitudes towards pupils, and they support and care for them diligently. This contributes to pupils’ eagerness to learn and their resilience to persevere with tasks. Staff effectively encourage pupils to take responsibility for their own well-being and behaviour Their emotional support for both pupils and their families is a strength of the school. Overall, the school environment promotes beneficial learning opportunities. For example, staff and volunteers use the stimulating woodland area purposefully to engage pupils in outdoor learning. However, the indoor provision is not consistent and equitable for all younger pupils. Leaders evaluate the school's work to plan for improvements sensibly. The headteacher provides effective and committed leadership and focuses on developing strengths within the school community to benefit pupils and their families. The senior leadership team, staff and governors share her caring vision. They work together well to ensure that the school is inclusive and that it promotes positive learning and wellbeing opportunities. The headteacher uses the self-evaluation processes well to identify targets that will improve the school’s practices. She supports the improvement strategies effectively by providing staff with purposeful opportunities to develop their expertise. This is facilitated well through well-planned professional learning and productive collaboration with local schools. This thoughtful approach to staff training is successful. It contributes to a positive whole-school ethos, where staff feel valued for their impact on pupils’ outcomes and for their overall contributions to school life.
