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 Glan Ceubal is a happy, caring and homely community that places a high priority on the well-being of its pupils. Staff work together effectively to provide an inclusive ethos to identify the needs of all individuals. Pupils take pride in having positive relationships to discuss any concerns in a safe environment. Pupils treat each other and adults with respect and courtesy, which support most to behave well. They have positive attitudes to learning and make sound progress from their starting points. Those who are latecomers to the Welsh language make sound progress in the language and gain confidence and enjoyment in it following a period in the immersion unit. Pupils are given a strong voice to use the Welsh language in all aspects of the school’s work and most use their skills confidently in different contexts. Many build increasingly on their writing skills and achieve good standards. Many pupils develop their numeracy and digital skills well by the end of their time at the school. However, the reading culture does not encourage most pupils to enjoy their Welsh texts. Teachers develop pupils’ skills through probing questioning and provide beneficial opportunities for them to discuss their work. Staff identify the needs of all pupils well and tailor learning support sensitively, where relevant. However, there are not enough opportunities for pupils to respond independently to teachers’ feedback to improve the quality of their work, choose how to present their learning and take the next step in their learning. The new headteacher has settled well and has a clear understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Leaders have high expectations and are keen to refine teaching across the school to meet the needs of all pupils. Members of the governing body have given the new headteacher robust support since her appointment. However, they do not have a deep enough understanding of the requirements of their duties and responsibilities.

Ysgol Glan Ceubal Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Lovely school”


Ysgol Glan Ceubal is an amazing school. We moved our son there from the local English Medium school which we weren't happy with. Glan Ceubal is a wonderfully friendly place with a really nurturing and caring environment – and excellent teaching staff. The parents were so welcoming and there's an active PTA raising lots of funds for school and organising lots of fun activities. We like the school's commitment to health and wellbeing and diversity. Can't recommend it highly enough.
