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

Pupils enjoy attending St Helen’s Roman Catholic Primary School. All staff have created a warm, caring and inclusive ethos that comes from their focus on the importance of everyone’s well-being and their Christian faith. Staff know the pupils well and support their well-being needs effectively. Pupils know whom to ask if they need help and there is a strong relationship of trust and respect between them and the staff. Pupils’ behaviour is very good and they have positive attitudes towards their learning. During their time at the school most pupils make strong progress in all aspects of their work. Teachers plan engaging and exiting activities that inspire pupils to learn and develop their skills. They make very good use of the extensive outdoor areas to enhance the provision for all learners. Most pupils further develop their sense of safety and well-being through regular activities in the school’s forest area. All staff encourage pupils to become independent, to work hard and to persevere on their tasks. However, there are limited opportunities for pupils to make decisions about how they organise and present their work. Pupils contribute well to a variety of groups and committees. The recently convened Senedd that includes all older pupils is divided into six cabinets. Pupils that are voted as ‘First Ministers’ in these cabinets can articulate well how they have already made a positive contribution and are making a difference within the school and further afield. The headteacher has a clear vision for the school and places well-being and faith at the heart of all decisions. Leaders have a thorough system for evaluating the school’s strengths and they set realistic targets for improvement in conjunction with the wellinformed governing body. They make sure that they listen carefully and consider the views of others. As a result, pupils, parents and school staff feel well supported and included in the decision-making process and that their contributions are valued.
