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.

Nearly all pupils are of white British ethnicity. A very few pupils speak Welsh at home. The acting headteacher was absent for the period of the inspection. The newly appointed substantive headteacher, who begins his appointment in June 2019 was seconded to the school for the period of the inspection. The school’s last inspection was in 2012. Further information is available from the Welsh Government My Local School website at the link below. http://mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk/Schools/SchoolSearch?lang=en 1 A report on Goytre Fawr Primary School May 2019 Summary During their time at Goytre Fawr Primary School, pupils generally make strong progress. They enjoy coming to school and most have positive attitudes to learning. Most teachers have high expectations of pupils and encourage pupils to engage purposefully in their work. They foster positive working relationships with pupils and engage them well in deciding what and how they would like to learn. Teachers use questioning well to facilitate pupils’ understanding, but their planning does not always identify appropriate activities to support and challenge all pupils. After a period of instability, the newly appointed headteacher has established a clear vision for the school that focuses on the needs of all learners. However, it is too early to judge whether new systems to evaluate the school’s performance and plan for improvement are effective. Inspection area Judgement Standards Good Wellbeing and attitudes to learning Good Teaching and learning experiences Good Care, support and guidance Good Leadership and management Adequate and needs improvement 2 A report on Goytre Fawr Primary School May 2019 Recommendations R1 Ensure that rigorous self-evaluation and monitoring is undertaken to raise standards in provision R2 Ensure that teaching supports and challenges pupils of all abilities R3 Raise standards in spoken Welsh R4 Improve leadership capacity of staff at all levels What happens next The school will draw up an action plan to show how it is going to address the recommendations. Estyn will review the school’s progress.
