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

The headteacher provides inspiring leadership that sets a clear strategic direction. His high expectations and vision of igniting pupils' enthusiasm in their learning permeates all the school's work. The senior management team and governors work together effectively to promote a culture of ambition, respect and care. Teachers, assistants and pupils alike are fully committed to the school’s values and contribute beneficially to its continuous progress. Teachers plan and deliver practical and exciting learning experiences that stimulate pupils' curiosity and creativity successfully. These experiences offer valuable opportunities for pupils to use their skills independently. As a result, most pupils make sound progress in applying their literacy, numeracy and digital skills across the areas of learning. Teachers and assistants provide clear and useful feedback that helps pupils understand what they are achieving well and to identify the next steps in their learning. Recently, staff have placed a specific focus on strengthening this aspect further. In the best practices, many pupils begin to refine the content of their work skilfully. Provision for developing the Welsh language is strong, ensuring that pupils speak both languages confidently by the end of their time at the school. Teachers provide beneficial opportunities for pupils to use technology that also boosts their oracy skills beneficially. Staff also develop pupils' awareness of different cultures and beliefs successfully, by fostering their respect and understanding well. The behaviour of almost all pupils is good. They are courteous, hardworking and participate diligently in their learning in a caring and safe environment. Leaders track pupils' progress carefully and arrange additional support when needed. By working closely with parents, governors and the local community, teachers offer pupils rich experiences that strengthen the sense of belonging and pride.
