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

Trallwng Infants school cares for its staff and pupils. There is a strong emphasis on pupils’ wellbeing which results in happy pupils who are excited to come to school and learn. Leaders, staff, and pupils succeed in developing an environment where nearly all pupils feel safe at school and are valued and respected. Following the return to school after the pandemic closures, leaders and teachers recognised that many of its pupils had been adversely affected in their development of their literacy and numeracy skills and as a result made a significant investment to provide pupils with targeted literacy and numeracy support alongside an effective emotional health programme. This has resulted in many pupils making good progress in their reading, writing and numeracy skills from their starting points. Nearly all pupils engage well with their learning. They settle quickly to work, take turns, and follow instructions. Many pupils are beginning to reflect on how well they have completed tasks. However, they are less able to explain the purpose of their work or how it could be improved. Teachers at the school offer pupils a worthwhile range of learning experiences that engage pupils well in their learning. This is particularly so during their thematic immersion weeks where pupils participate in exciting activities from outside providers such as circus skills and drumming workshops and take trips to find out more about their local area. There is room however for teachers to ensure that the learning environment provides pupils with opportunities to stretch and consolidate their learning especially when involved in independent play activities. At times these activities are often over directed by adults and as a result this limits the opportunities for pupils to explore, try things out and develop their ideas by themselves. Leaders and teachers are beginning to implement a curriculum that reflects the principles and culture of the Curriculum for Wales. Leaders have worked collaboratively with governors and parents to gain a deeper understanding of the four purposes and create and share a vision for their curriculum that is based firmly around the school’s moto of learning and growing together. Leaders identify the professional learning needs of staff appropriately. For example, upskilling teaching assistants to be able to deliver valuable and targeted interventions to support pupils with additional learning needs. However, the schools plans to develop a wide range of teaching approaches to align with Curriculum for Wales are in the early stages and need further development.
