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

Ysgol Cymerau is a happy and inclusive school that provides beneficial opportunities for pupils to learn about their area, their culture and their heritage in addition to the wider world. Through the headteacher’s robust leadership, staff and members of the governing body are committed to creating a stimulating and beneficial learning environment for pupils. Across the school, most pupils behave very well and demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. They take great pride in their school and support each other successfully. As a result, most pupils make sound progress in their learning during their time at the school. Staff have a productive working relationship with pupils and encourage them to give of their best. They create an attractive and stimulating learning environment which encourages pupils to engage in a good range of beneficial learning and play experiences. In the best practice, pupils take ownership of their learning and develop their independent learning skills successfully. However, overall, staff have a tendency to over-direct learning which, in turn, hinders pupils’ ability to make independent choices and take responsibility for their learning. Most pupils respond well to oral feedback, although opportunities for them to improve their own work following written feedback from teachers are limited. The headteacher and leaders prioritise the well-being of staff and pupils and support them well. They share their vision and the school’s values successfully with stakeholders, which sets a purposeful strategic direction for them. Members of the governing body make a valuable contribution to the school’s success. Although leaders have a suitable understanding of their school, self-evaluation processes are not incisive enough to influence important aspects of provision and pupils’ standards effectively enough.
