How have we plotted this catchment area map?

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:

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.
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.
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

Ysgol Gynradd Nantgaredig is a happy and homely school. All staff work together effectively to create a caring, Welsh, and inclusive ethos. The additional learning centres are an integral part of the school’s life and all pupils benefit from the rich experiences that come from working with each other. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are a strong feature of the school. Pupils have a strong voice in the school’s life and are given regular opportunities to question staff and influence decisions. The pupil’s voice, ‘Nantlais’, is an effective means of including pupils’ ideas in the school’s themes. They celebrate their successes and the fact that everyone is different and important. The school is run very effectively and the management team identifies aspects of the school’s work that are in need of improvement and the steps that are needed to achieve this. The school’s monitoring and evaluation activities are incisive and accurate. Leaders consider the views of parents and governors carefully and their voice has an appropriate influence on the direction of the school. Leaders share their vision clearly with everyone and the school community works diligently to ‘learn today for a better tomorrow’. Governors have a good awareness of the school’s work and support the school very effectively. The school needs to address the transport arrangements on the school playground when parents and carers drop-off and collect their children at the beginning and end of each day. Pupils develop their basic skills strongly on their journey through the school. They develop as confident mathematicians and gain a sound grasp of Welsh and English. By the end of their time at the school, they use their digital skills in different ways to solve problems and demonstrate their knowledge skilfully. Staff ensure that pupils take pride in their community and their county and develop an awareness of their place in the world. However, there are not enough opportunities for them to make choices independently enough across the school and the level of challenge that is provided to pupils is inconsistent.
