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 who attend Penarlag Primary school receive a high level of care, support and respect. Pupils are proud of their school and speak highly of the experiences they have. Across the school, pupils are friendly, welcoming, and behave well. They have good manners, are polite and inquisitive and enjoy learning new things. They develop valuable relationships with their peers and staff, which have a positive impact on their learning and well-being. Most pupils begin school with skills that are appropriate for their age. As they move through the school, most pupils make strong progress in their learning and do so with confidence and enjoyment. Pupils with additional learning needs benefit from valuable support, and as result they also make good progress by the time they leave the school. Staff make skilful use of the learning spaces both within and outside of their classrooms to develop pupils’ independence and to provide them with opportunities to carry out interesting practical activities. The headteacher and governors work together well to ensure that pupils are safe and happy in school. Generally, leaders identify what the school is doing well and what it needs to do to improve. They take suitable steps to make the improvements needed. However, the school has not yet developed a curriculum that enables pupils to make constructive links between their own lives and their learning. Staff have not been given enough opportunities to undertake professional learning to support curriculum development and are not empowered to lead the necessary improvements themselves. During their time at Penarlag, most pupils gain good Welsh, digital, literacy and mathematical skills and they learn to use these well in a range of contexts. The school has a clear Welsh identity. Throughout the school, staff model the Welsh language passionately and it has a high profile in many aspects of the school’s work. The Criw Cymraeg pupil group plays an integral part in the school’s Welsh language provision and a good range of other groups enable pupils to positively influence the life of the school.

Penarlag Cp Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“A wonderful little school”


Penarlag CP is a lovely little school, it may not have all new equipment and be shiny and new, but what it does have a great teaching staff, very high standards and loving and caring community. My daughter has been going for several months now and she always looks forward to going to school to see her little friends and her friendly teachers. The level of work that she is taught and the quality and standard that is expected is always high. You can see that the staff are happy and have all been there for years and this shows in the way that the older pupils are greeting each of them. I would not send my daughter anywhere else.
