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 Llywelyn provides a high level of support, care and guidance for its pupils and staff. As a result, nearly all pupils are happy at school and feel valued. Most pupils behave well in lessons and around the school and are particularly keen to chat to visitors about their work and school life. The headteacher and leadership team create and maintain a strong culture of teamworking, and as a result all staff take advantage of opportunities to develop new ideas, such as experimenting with approaches to delivering the Curriculum for Wales. Leaders have a strong overarching vision for the school based on the mission statement, ‘believe, achieve and shine’. They use a wide range of activities to evaluate the school’s work, often identifying key priorities appropriately, although plans to tackle the school’s main areas for development are not always clear enough to deliver rapid, focused, and consistent progress. Nearly all pupils make good progress in learning during their time at the school. On the whole, they develop their early literacy skills well and take advantage of suitable opportunities to write for different purposes across the curriculum. Most pupils develop numeracy skills appropriately, and in the foundation phase they apply these skills effectively in different contexts. Many develop Welsh language skills appropriately and have a positive attitude towards speaking Welsh. Overall, pupils’ digital skills are underdeveloped, despite a recent investment in information and communication technology (ICT) equipment. Many develop creative and physical skills well. They benefit from outdoor resources such as a bicycle track and highly engaging school forest and garden areas which are an exceptional feature of the school’s provision. Teachers and their assistants provide activities that engage pupils well. Recently, they have introduced ‘inspiration days’ to introduce new topics that capture pupils’ imaginations well. For example, younger pupils had a visit from a creature in the woods who left footprints. They tracked him down to the school garden and helped build a den for him. Teachers throughout the school are beginning to develop opportunities for pupils to develop independent skills in different contexts, such as when accessing different areas of the class and outdoor areas in the foundation phase, or when responding to ‘enquiry days’. However, some of this work is at an early stage. Teachers track pupils’ progress accurately as they move through the school, and the school arranges suitable additional support for pupils as required, including a range of interventions that supports their educational and social development. On the whole, teachers provide suitable feedback for pupils, although they do not always provide frequent enough opportunities for pupils to improve or develop their work in light of the feedback they have been given.

Ysgol Llywelyn Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“This school was advertised as one that offers a welcoming atmosphere for parents and children”


Our children have been at this school for over 2 years: initially everyone was very helpful, and couldn't do enough to help, but recently things have not been so good. The Christmas fair was cancelled, and we as a family took the children to a ysgol Christchurch, where their cousin attends: it was an amazing atmosphere in comparison, plenty of festive spirit, and people were very welcoming. There are some teachers, who are helpful, but sadly we do not feel the headteacher is a very approachable person. The infant teachers are very pleasant, we have had no problems there, and the junior teachers are reasonable. We have actually tried to transfer the children from this school, but there are no places for both of them in another school. The school is quite large, and it gets busy at home-time: it is very hard to be a part of the school, despite having children that attend: some parents feel they are not welome, and with the recent changes to the school-granted for security purposes, it does look very fenced-in.
