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

Swiss Valley Community Primary School is an inclusive community, which places a strong emphasis on pupils' learning, well-being and personal development. The headteacher has a purposeful vision, which helps to ensure that pupils have interesting learning experiences in an engaging and caring learning environment. This contributes successfully to excellent behaviour and a willingness to learn among pupils. This sensible, commendable and secure vision, which includes contributions from staff and the wider community, supports the school's improvement practices robustly. Teachers and support staff work together cohesively to ensure broad and balanced curricular provision. They are a team of committed and enthusiastic staff who focus on promoting pupils' learning and well-being purposefully. They work diligently with parents and external agencies and know the needs of the pupils and their community well. Staff use areas of the extensive school grounds and their local area effectively to promote a bespoke curriculum. However, the resources and outdoor learning opportunities for younger pupils are not equitable across foundation classes. The pace and flow of the lessons correspond well to pupils' learning needs and teachers' feedback to pupils to improve their learning is appropriate. There is a lack of consistency in the quality of teachers' feedback, and it does not support pupils to achieve the next steps in their learning effectively enough. In the best cases, teachers provide stimulating opportunities for pupils to develop their skills purposefully across the areas of learning. The staff are skilful language models and question pupils well and this leads to strong progress in pupils' literacy, numeracy and digital skills. However, pupils do not receive enough challenging opportunities to apply their skills at appropriate levels across the curriculum. Staff and pupils foster close and loyal working relationships. Staff encourage pupils to cooperate and share ideas and feelings intelligently, which develops their respect for others successfully. Staff ensure that pupils develop effective personal, social and creative skills, which creates a good awareness of their locality and a strong appreciation of other cultures.
