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's inspirational leadership, together with conscientious staff, fosters pupils' wellbeing, care and support extremely effectively. They know their pupils well and leaders have a sound understanding of the school's strengths and areas for improvement. The homely and inclusive feeling supports pupils to have positive attitudes towards their learning. Almost all pupils behave well during their activities, when learning independently and when playing with their friends. Pupils make valuable use of the outdoor learning areas which contribute to their wellbeing and enthusiasm for learning. Teachers ensure that the learning experiences engage and maintain pupils' interest successfully by providing them with useful support and feedback. They enable pupils to develop independence in their learning from an early age which includes choosing beneficial methods of presenting their work, choosing the challenge level of activities and raising awareness of the aspects that they need to develop in their work. Most pupils develop a range of skills robustly in practical activities across the areas of learning which enrich their understanding of the themes well. However, there are few opportunities for pupils to learn about the history of black and Asian people and diversity in society during learning activities. Opportunities for pupils to influence the work of the school are a strength, which includes offering ideas and activities within the themes, and the effectiveness of 'Lleisiau Ilar' groups. The effect of their work includes influencing improvements in the local community and providing opportunities to influence pupils' wellbeing through fun-filled activities. The headteacher and staff have a positive relationship and effective communication methods with parents, including parents of pupils with additional learning needs (ALN). Staff support pupils who need further help with their learning purposefully. As a result, most ALN pupils make strong progress during their time at the school. The headteacher and staff take advantage of the expertise and support of members of the conscientious governing body who identify strengths and aspects for the school to develop thoroughly.
