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 Pendref is a happy and inclusive community that places a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. Pupils take pride in having robust relationships with staff, which supports their progress in skills and to discuss any concerns in a safe environment. As a result, many pupils make steady progress from their starting points. Staff work together effectively to identify the needs of all pupils and plan a range of purposeful and stimulating activities that engage pupils’ interests appropriately. In general, teaching is over-directed, which limits a minority of pupils from developing their skills independently. The school’s curriculum is appropriate to best meet the needs of many pupils. Teachers’ planning considers pupils’ suggestions and ideas, which results in most pupils applying themselves enthusiastically to their work. However, teachers do not plan effectively enough to develop pupils’ extended writing skills, numeracy and digital skills across all areas of learning. Teachers promote the Welsh language effectively. They plan purposefully for pupils to learn about the history and culture of Wales. However, teachers do not plan to improve pupils’ ability to communicate in Welsh systematically. This limits pupils’ progress in communicating in Welsh in formal and informal situations. The headteacher and leaders share a clear vision to provide a nurturing and engaging education based on supporting pupils’ well-being. They concentrate well on ensuring that all staff feel that they are part of the school team. This ensures that everyone, including governors, understand the school’s basic priorities and work together supportively. In general, the school’s self-evaluation and planning for improvement arrangements are not always robust enough to identify its strengths and areas for improvement.
