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 school provides a warm, nurturing environment that enables all pupils to feel secure and confident. Pupils and parents value the strong relationships they have with staff and feel that their views are listened to and respected. As a result, nearly all pupils enjoy their time in school and feel a strong sense of belonging to their school community. Staff set clear expectations for pupils conduct and model these consistently. Because of this, pupils’ behaviour across the school is exemplary. Teachers provide an exciting variety of learning experiences that capture the interest of most pupils well. They make effective use of well-resourced environments in class and outdoors to engage pupils in worthwhile practical activities that reinforce and extend their learning beneficially. In the best instances, they plan learning experiences that develop pupils’ problem-solving skills and foster their independence effectively. For example, they enable older pupils to develop their entrepreneurial skills through a mini-enterprise challenge very successfully. In a few instances, staff intervene too readily in pupils’ learning and this restricts their opportunity to make decisions for themselves. Overall, teachers plan appropriately for the development of pupils’ numeracy, digital and Welsh language skills. However, they do not provide enough opportunity for pupils to write at length for a variety of purposes in their work across the curriculum. Leaders promote the care and well-being of all pupils and staff consistently well. They create a climate that supports strong teamwork and fosters collective responsibility effectively. Leaders show a clear understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. They use the school’s resources to support improvement purposefully, including through providing suitable professional learning for staff. However, leaders do not always make clear what specific approach teachers should use in their classes to bring about intended improvements. As a result, progress on some priorities is uneven across the school.
