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.

During their time there, most pupils make sound progress and achieve well. Nearly all pupils show enthusiasm towards their work and a desire to learn, and they treat each other and visitors politely. Pupils with additional learning needs are valued members of the school community and receive effective support from staff. The effective working relationship between staff and pupils is an excellent feature of the school’s work. This contributes soundly towards creating a lively learning environment where pupils and their parents contribute effectively to what is learned. As a result, stimulating and creative activities are provided for pupils, which develop them as curious and confident learners. The school provides a rich range of interesting experiences for pupils, which promotes Welsh arts well and nurtures their pride in using the Welsh language. Pupils’ creative skills are developing effectively, and work is displayed attractively around the school.
