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 Patrick’s R.C. Primary School is a happy, inclusive school that places a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. Nearly all pupils feel happy and safe in school and know whom to ask for help should they need it. Pupils show high levels of interest and enjoyment in their lessons and the many clubs and additional activities they attend. Nearly all pupils behave very well within lessons and at break times. Most pupils, including those with additional learning needs and those learning English as an additional language, make strong progress in their learning. They develop effective literacy and numeracy skills and make particularly good progress in their speaking and listening skills. Most pupils develop and use an effective range of digital skills and show high levels of confidence in accessing learning materials online. Teaching across the school is good and nearly all teachers have high expectations of pupils. Lessons are tailored to match pupils’ needs well. This helps to keep challenge high for learners, including the more able. The school is developing a highly engaging curriculum which includes cooking skills, cycling lessons and sessions in the forest area of the school. Lessons are brought to life very successfully through ‘immersion days’ when pupils enjoy a range of trips, visitors to the school and interesting learning experiences. Classrooms are well organised, calm and attractive. However, in a few areas, they require further development. For example, learning areas designed to support younger pupils to learn through play are underdeveloped and provision to encourage pupils’ independent reading is inconsistent. Senior leaders identify aspects of the school’s work that are in need of improvement and the steps that are needed to achieve this effectively. Leaders have worked with the school community to create a clear vision of high expectation and continuous improvement for all, rooted in Christian values.
