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

Mayals Primary school is a happy, caring and supportive school that places a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. Pupils enjoy coming to school and, during their time here, they develop positive attitudes to learning and a very good understanding of the importance of respecting others. There is a strong emphasis on the school’s core values, which has a positive impact on pupils’ attitudes to learning. The headteacher and staff know the pupils well and ensure that they take good account of their individual needs. They recognise the importance of forging close links with parents and the school has a strong community feel. The headteacher has identified some aspects of the school’s work that need improvement, including designing lessons that meet the needs of pupils well, and ensuring more challenge for pupils at all levels. Teachers from nursery to Year 2 provide a range of learning experiences that engage pupils’ interest and motivate them to learn. As a result, these pupils make sound progress developing their skills across the curriculum. However, leaders have not focused their monitoring and evaluation activities well enough on pupils’ learning and progress. Too much teaching and too many learning experiences provided for the older pupils do not support them to make the progress they could make in Year 3 to Year 6. Pupils at the school behave very well. They are kind and caring and treat each other fairly. They know that all adults at the school care for them and that they can turn to them if they face any challenges. Governors know the school well and provide good support for the headteacher. They have a wide range of knowledge and experience that helps them carry out their role effectively.
