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

Ynystawe Primary School is a happy and inclusive school where staff and pupils treat each other with care and respect. Throughout the school, pupils behave well, engage positively with their learning and welcome visitors happily. The headteacher has established a culture that values and celebrates the school as a focal point for its community. Teachers make very good use of the local area to enrich the school’s curriculum and visits by local groups, residents and governors support pupils’ sense of belonging and togetherness positively. The school’s curriculum gives pupils the chance to make good progress in their learning and wellbeing through a range of interesting activities both inside and outside the classroom. The school uses its grounds very well to provide pupils with an interesting range of practical, first-hand experiences. Across the school, teachers work diligently to provide pupils with exciting and rich learning tasks. They work together purposefully to ensure that the curriculum stands pupils in good stead for the future and develops them as ambitious, ethical and capable learners. Overall, pupils develop a good range of literacy, numeracy, Welsh and digital skills by the time they leave the school. However, pupils do not have enough opportunities to write creatively or to redraft their written work. The school’s provision for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) is a strong aspect of its work. There is a wide range of carefully planned programmes and interventions that meet ALN pupils’ learning, physical and well-being needs effectively. Under the able leadership of the ALN co-ordinator, well-trained support staff provide pupils with high levels of care, compassion and guidance. Leaders and governors know the school well. They work together productively to ensure that they have a good understanding of its strengths and areas for improvement. There is a worthwhile culture of professional development that enables staff to develop their current practice and to take the next steps in their careers. However, staff do not currently use the expertise that exists in the school well enough to support improvements to the overall consistency of teaching. The school has established strong partnerships with outside agencies and other schools, which contribute purposefully to the school’s curriculum, ALN and extra-curricular provision.
