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.

School Description

Leaders in Y Pant Comprehensive are successful in securing consistently strong outcomes and high levels of well-being for their pupils. The headteacher has a clear vision for pupils to behave with respect and humility and to be well prepared for life. This vision permeates every aspect of school life, resulting in a caring and inclusive community that embraces diversity and welcomes all. Collaborative leadership is a notable strength and the headteacher, along with her senior team, have created a culture of effective support and challenge. Leaders and staff work well together to ensure that every pupil reaches their full potential. An example of this is the way in senior and middle leaders designed its disciplinary approach to curriculum in Years 7 and 8. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum, although this narrows in Year 9 when pupils begin their option choices. Leaders maintain a relentless focus on securing high-quality teaching. This is underpinned by strong evaluation and improvement processes, and effective professional learning. As a result, many pupils make secure progress in their knowledge, understanding and skills. In a minority of cases, pupils make exemplary progress because of inspirational and highly skilled teaching. The provision for the progressive development of pupils’ skills is well established, effectively co-ordinated and regularly evaluated. Across the curriculum, pupils have valuable opportunities to practise and develop their skills in a range of suitably challenging and authentic contexts. Leaders have secured a strong culture of safeguarding, ensuring that pupils know who to turn to when they need support. The school’s strategic approach to securing strong wellbeing provision has helped to improve pupils’ rates of attendance and to ensure that pupils behave well in lessons and around school. The school’s ‘behaviour curriculum’ is a particular strength, which has contributed to the caring and inclusive ethos of the school. This aspect of the school’s curriculum beneficially supports pupils social and emotional development and promotes a strong sense of tolerance and respect. The school provides exceptional support for pupils at different transition points and particularly when helping them to choose their next steps and career pathways. There is a well-planned programme of careers advice and guidance available to pupils of all ages.
