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

Nearly all pupils enjoy school, have positive attitudes to learning and behave very well. They show high levels of care and respect for others and develop positive relationships with friends and adults. Most pupils have a high level of influence over how and what they learn and use these opportunities well. Overall, they develop a good range of skills and knowledge during their time at the school but do not always have the challenge or support to apply these as well as they might. Pupils’ Welsh language skills regressed during the recent pandemic and have been slow to recover. Teaching and learning experiences engage pupils’ interests well and promote an enthusiasm for learning. Teachers’ use of pupils’ strengths as a starting point for learning is a positive feature of the school’s approach to developing confident and independent learners. They draw on a variety of interesting contexts for learning and pupils respond well. Teaching supports pupils to make good progress overall but sometimes opportunities to challenge pupils to improve their work further are missed. Arrangements to provide care, support and guidance for pupils are effective. They ensure that pupils receive timely support when needed, and they feel safe in school. Leaders provide clear strategic direction to the school’s work. They promote teamwork and innovation successfully and use resources well. Overall, leaders show the capacity to implement change successfully. They work proactively to address national priorities such as curriculum and additional learning needs (ALN) reform. They also address school-based priorities, such as the improvement of pupils’ reading skills successfully. However, leaders do not always evaluate the difference that teaching and learning experiences make to pupils’ progress well enough. Monitoring activity is generally too broad and does not focus sharply enough on specific elements of the school’s work.
