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.

How School Guide Rates Secondary Schools

For secondary schools in Wales, schools are rated on key performance indicators for pupils up to the age of 16 (GCSE only) due to the fact the government did not publish A level data for the last academic year.

School Description

Ysgol yr Eglwys yng Nhgymru Penrhyn Dewi VA has a caring and supporting ethos and a clear focus on the personal development and well-being of its pupils and staff. This ethos is underpinned by strong Christian values. The school provides very strong and well-considered support for pupils’ well-being, physical, cultural and moral needs as well as their learning needs. As a result, most pupils are happy and enthusiastic about coming to school. They feel safe and know who to turn to with any concerns. Leaders ensure that all pupils are included in its activities. Pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds are able to participate fully in all aspects of school life by way of sensitive and discrete support. Most pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) play a full part in the school and are well supported to ensure that they can take on leadership roles and responsibilities. There are very good working relationships between staff and pupils. In the primary phase, the quality of teaching is consistently high, but this is more variable in the secondary phase. Most pupils in nursery and reception make strong progress from their starting points. Many pupils across the school make suitable progress while the majority of pupils have a sufficiently good understanding of relevant prior learning and can apply this well to new contexts. While many pupils display appropriate standards of literacy, numeracy and digital skills, the planning for progression of pupils’ skills across the school is not co-ordinated well enough. In addition, as pupils progress through the school there is little opportunity for them to practise and develop their Welsh language skills outside the Welsh lessons. Staff make excellent use of the outdoor spaces, the surrounding local area and community to develop engaging real-life learning experiences. Pupils benefit fully from the wide range of experiences offered in a unique location. The headteacher and new leadership team are conscientious in their approach to leading the school. The headteacher is passionate in her desire to provide pupils with the best education. She supports the well-being of staff and pupils well. Leaders have established suitable processes to evaluate the school’s work and plan for improvement appropriately. However, leaders do not always identify areas for improvement precisely or evaluate teaching by its impact on pupil outcomes well enough. A few health and safety issues were identified during the inspection.
