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

Trelales Primary School is in the village of Laleston on the outskirts Bridgend. There are currently 217 pupils on roll between the ages of 3 and 11. There are eight classes in the school, including a nursery class with 15 full-time and 10 part-time pupils. The three-year rolling average of pupils eligible for free school meals is 2.8 % which is significantly below the national average of 19%. The school identifies around 16% of pupils as having additional learning needs. This is well below the national average of 21%. A very few pupils come from homes where Welsh is the first language. The headteacher took up his post in July, 2014. The school was last inspected in June 2010. Further information is available from the Welsh Government My Local School website at the link below. http://mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk/Schools/SchoolSearch?lang=en 1 A report on Trelales Primary School January 2018 Summary During their time at the school, nearly all pupils make good progress in line with their abilities. Nearly all pupils are very enthusiastic learners who enjoy coming to school and behave very well. The school provides an effective level of care, support and guidance for pupils. Teachers and learning support officers work well together to support pupils’ learning. However, the quality of teaching varies too much across the school. The headteacher has a clear vision for the school and over the past year has introduced suitable improvement strategies, but it is too early to see the effect of actions on pupils’ standards and provision. The governors are supportive, but they do not provide enough challenge to leaders in relation to the school’s performance. Inspection area Judgement Standards Good Wellbeing and attitudes to learning Good Teaching and learning experiences Adequate and needs improvement Care, support and guidance Good Leadership and management Adequate and needs improvement 2 A report on Trelales Primary School January 2018 Recommendations R1 Strengthen the role of leaders at all levels so that they operate more strategically and focus more sharply on pupils’ standards and improving provision R2 Develop governors’ role in monitoring the quality of provision and pupils’ progress to enable them to challenge the school’s performance R3 Ensure that the planned curriculum meets the needs of all pupils and develops their skills, particularly numeracy across the curriculum. R4 Improve the quality of teaching by sharing the best practice in the school more effectively What happens next The school will draw up an action plan which shows how it is going to address the recommendations. Estyn will review the school’s progress.
