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

The headteacher leads the school well and provides strong strategic leadership. His vision is based on supporting pupils’ well-being and helping them to make progress in developing their skills, permeates throughout the life of the school. Monitoring and evaluation arrangements are implemented highly effectively and all partners have a say in identifying strengths and developing specific aspects for improvement. The headteacher is supported skilfully by a hard-working team of staff who support pupils well and provide interesting learning activities. Members of the governing body have a strong knowledge of the school and support staff effectively. Teachers and learning assistants have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and provide constructive support for them to develop their skills. They support pupils well, for example during ‘Llun Lles’ (‘Well-being Monday’) sessions, which helps them to fully engage in their learning. On the whole, teachers provide suitable opportunities for pupils to develop their extended writing and digital skills consistently across the curriculum. However, pupils are not always given enough opportunities to make increasingly independent choices about their learning. One of the school’s most notable qualities is the tireless support that is provided for pupils to develop their Welsh language skills. This strengthens pupils’ pride in their school and of their wider community. Pupils are motivated and encouraged to speak Welsh spontaneously through support in a variety of meaningful activities. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are a strength. Most listen carefully to instructions and apply themselves fully to their learning. They work together diligently on tasks and respond effectively to the staff’s high expectations. Despite the pandemic, many pupils continue to make consistent progress in their skills, including their Welsh language skills.
