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

Parkland Primary School is a happy, vibrant school where pupils thrive. The school is highly inclusive ensuring that all pupils including those with additional learning needs (ALN) feel safe, happy and ready to learn. This develops pupils’ passion for learning and determination to succeed. As a result, nearly all pupils make strong progress in their learning from their individual starting points. Across the school, pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They forge positive relationships with their peers and adults alike and demonstrate high levels of respect for one another’s cultures. The school provides a wide variety of exciting and innovative learning experiences that develop pupils’ skills effectively and promote a love of learning. The approach to developing pupils’ ability to continuously improve the quality of their work is particularly effective. This ensures that most pupils respond well to feedback from their teachers and their peers. As a result, they make strong progress. However, in a few instances the learning environment does not always provide sufficient opportunity for pupils to develop their independent learning and problem-solving skills to their full potential. In a few cases, teachers do not always provide opportunities for younger pupils to explore their environment and to investigate their own questions. Staff support the well-being of the whole community successfully. There are strong relationships with parents and families and the school provides an effective range of support, often in collaboration with several outside agencies. Provision for pupils with ALN is highly beneficial. The work of the school’s specialist teaching facility ‘Y Bont Fawr’ is particularly effective. Pupils are fully included in the life of the school and nearly all make strong progress. Leadership of the school is outstanding. The headteacher provides exemplary leadership working alongside an effective team of leaders and a dedicated governing body. Together they have high expectations for all. Leaders use a range of evaluation and improvement processes very well to sustain high quality provision at the school and to bring about further improvements. They foster a strong culture of learning across the school where all staff benefit from a well-developed system of professional learning. This has a positive impact on many aspects of the school’s work.
