Source: All attending pupils Pupil Level Annual School Census

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.

How School Guide Rates Secondary Schools

For secondary schools in Wales, schools are rated on key performance indicators for pupils up to the age of 16 (GCSE only) due to the fact the government did not publish A level data for the last academic year.

School Description

Prestatyn High School provides a positive and engaging learning environment where nearly all pupils develop as happy, kind, and respectful individuals. The school is an inclusive learning community where pupils and staff work closely and effectively as a team and these relationships form the heartbeat of the school. Through its ‘Engagement Centre’, well-being room and partnerships with outside agencies, the school provides strong and well-considered support for pupils’ well-being. As a result, most pupils feel safe and know who to turn to for support. The school’s curriculum is designed thoughtfully with the needs of pupils at its heart. Leaders have a deep understanding of the community they serve, and their commitment to ensuring that the school both supports and shapes that community is notable. Complementing the formal curriculum is a vibrant enrichment and extracurricular offer, sometimes shaped and delivered by pupils themselves. Although areas such as the planning for the progressive development of pupils’ skills is at the early stages of development, the school provides an inclusive curriculum, which offers something for every pupil, regardless of their background. Where teaching is at its strongest, pupils make good progress. However, in a minority of instances, there is too much inconsistency in how well teachers plan to develop pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding over time and pupils are not challenged well enough. This limits the progress that pupils make. The headteacher and his senior team have worked well to establish a culture of high expectations for all and shared well their vision that the whole-school community take positive responsibility for their actions and decisions. Governors, leaders, and staff care about their locality and strive to ensure that their school supports the community to thrive. Leaders gather a range of evidence to evaluate the school’s work and generally have a clear understanding of the strengths and areas for improvement. Although leaders evaluate the quality of teaching, this is not precise enough to meet all their aspirations and plan for improvement.
