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

Rhos Primary School is an inclusive school, where leaders and staff offer extensive care and support to pupils. The headteacher and governors provide strong strategic leadership, prioritising raising standards and nurturing resilient learners. Staff develop positive relationships with pupils. They manage behaviour effectively, leading to exemplary behaviour both in class and around the school. Important values, including respect and tolerance, are taught in lessons and whole-school assemblies. Recent professional learning for staff has helped to ensure that they build pupils' skills systematically and progressively during lessons and over time. Staff use effective questioning to assess and extend learning. Most pupils make good progress, including those facing socio-economic challenges and those with additional learning needs, with some making exceptional progress. Most pupils develop their oracy and writing skills well, although teachers plan too few opportunities for imaginative writing. Nearly all pupils enjoy reading and many older pupils read fluently. Many pupils progress quickly with their Welsh language skills. Teachers plan frequent opportunities for pupils to apply their numeracy skills practically. Older pupils tackle complex problems confidently, such as calculating percentage increases. Teachers develop pupils’ digital skills progressively, through a wide range of activities, such as research and the creation of animations. The curriculum emphasises Welsh history and culture and celebrates diversity. Teachers plan engaging learning experiences, and they adapt the pace of learning to pupils’ needs suitably. Staff in the younger classes use outdoor spaces effectively. However, there are too few opportunities for older pupils to learn outdoors. Most teachers provide pupils with useful verbal feedback on their learning to help them understand how they can improve their work. Pupils display positive attitudes to their learning, collaborate well and demonstrate resilience. Staff provide effective support for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) and develop suitable links with families. Governors provide a good balance of support and challenge. They gain first-hand information about how well the school is performing and they have a strong understanding of the school and the community that it serves.
