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

White Rose Primary School is situated in New Tredegar and was formed in 2004 from the amalgamation of three local primary schools. It is part of a complex that contains a resource centre and an integrated children’s centre. The hall is shared by the school and the community. The traditional catchment area includes the village of New Tredegar and the surrounding area, but a significant percentage of pupils come from further afield due to parental choice and around a quarter of families are relatively mobile. The majority of pupils live in the eighth most deprived ward in Wales and the most disadvantaged in Caerphilly County Borough. Around 35% of pupils are entitled to receive free school meals, which is above the local authority and national averages. The ability of pupils on entry is generally below average. Currently there are 294 pupils in the school, aged three to eleven, taught in five mixed age and four single age classes, plus a nursery which contains 48 part-time pupils. The number on roll has declined since the last inspection. Around 22% of pupils are registered as requiring special educational needs support, which is similar to the national average; three have a statement. Around 2% come from an ethnic minority background, but none receives support in English as an additional language. Two pupils use Welsh as their first language and four are looked after by the local authority. The school was last inspected in February 2006. In October 2011 a new headteacher was appointed; he is temporarily in charge of White Rose and a neighbouring primary school and so divides his time between them. As a result, the deputy headteacher has a part-time teaching commitment. The individual school budget per pupil for White Rose Primary School in 2011-2012 means that the budget is £2969 per pupil. The maximum per pupil in the primary schools in Caerphilly is £6779 and the minimum is £2494. White Rose Primary School is 37th out of the 75 primary schools in Caerphilly in terms of its school budget per pupil.
