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

Ysgol Glan Aber is a warm and inclusive school, which promotes a positive atmosphere and caring ethos successfully. Pupils enjoy learning and they are enthusiastic during lessons and tasks. This is due to the very strong working relationships that they have with their teachers and other staff. This helps pupils to make good progress from their different starting points in developing their literacy, numeracy, digital and social skills. Learning is particularly successful where the teaching is consistent and of high quality. Pupils thrive where they receive feedback that is purposeful and challenges them to perform at their best. However, where inconsistencies occur, the teaching and feedback do not help pupils to improve their work effectively. All staff display positive attitudes towards pupils, and they support and care for them diligently. This encourages pupils to take responsibility for their own well-being and behaviour extremely well. This contributes to their eagerness to learn and their resilience to persevere with tasks. Overall, the school environment promotes beneficial learning opportunities. For example, staff use the stimulating woodland area purposefully to engage pupils in activities. However, the outdoor provision is not consistent and equitable for all younger pupils. Leaders evaluate the school's work to plan for improvements thoroughly. The headteacher provides strong and effective leadership and is determined to succeed for the benefit of pupils and the community. The senior leadership team, staff and governors share his purposeful vision. They work together well to ensure that the school is inclusive and that it promotes positive learning opportunities. However, the shared responsibilities of individuals on the senior leadership team are not defined clearly enough. The headteacher ensures that the self-evaluation processes lead to the most important targets for school improvement. He supports the improvement strategies well by providing staff with beneficial opportunities to develop their expertise through worthwhile professional learning. This contributes to a positive whole-school ethos, where staff and pupils feel valued for their contributions to school life.
