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

Pupils at New Inn Primary School thoroughly enjoy attending school. They are keen to talk to visitors and speak confidently about their learning experiences and the wider life of the school. Pupils feel happy and safe and learn from an early age how to take responsibility for their actions and how to look out for others. They know who to turn to when they need help in any situation. During their time in school, pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN) and those affected by social disadvantage, make at least good progress in many areas of learning. They have many opportunities to make decisions about improving their school and often make decisions about what they want to learn. In general, they have fewer opportunities to decide how they learn or to develop as increasingly independent learners. The school places importance on well-being for its whole community and school staff work well together to create a respectful, nurturing and inclusive environment. This ethos is especially reflected in the warm and positive relationships between staff and pupils. Teachers and teaching assistants think about ways to engage pupils in their learning through a range of interesting activities and experiences. Leaders ensure that staff have plentiful opportunities for developing their own knowledge and skills and for working together to meet individual pupils’ needs, supporting the school’s vision to prepare pupils for the next stage of their education and for future life, developing respect for the world they live in. The headteacher leads a strong and committed team of leaders, teachers and teaching assistants. Together with governors they work hard to bring about change in the areas they identify for improvement. They work with other schools, and with outside agencies to develop the support, provision and care needed for every pupil to make progress. Staff are committed to forming trusting relationships with parents and carers to further improve pupils’ experiences and opportunities. Leaders and teachers are developing a curriculum to reflect the community in which they live and the global influences which add to pupils’ knowledge. Leaders keep the work of the school under regular review and there are suitable arrangements for evaluating the quality of school improvements. Monitoring activity, though, does not always pick up on the areas most in need of improvement, such as the way teachers support pupils to understand their next steps in learning, or how effectively their planning helps pupils to apply the skills they learn across the curriculum.
