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 Gynradd Gymraeg Tirdeunaw is a happy, caring and inclusive community. The well-being of pupils and staff is given a high priority by leaders and, as a result, there are strong relationships of respect between staff and pupils. The values of ‘friendship’, ‘responsibility’, ‘kindness’, ‘courtesy’ and ‘Welshness’ are an integral part of the school’s learning environment. Pupils have a sound understanding of these values, which contributes effectively to their good behaviour. The school provides a rich curriculum that reflects the local area’s history and culture. There is a strong emphasis on raising pupils’ aspirations and inspiring them to become ambitious learners by providing a variety of stimulating learning experiences, for example by holding careers weeks and inviting different visitors to the school. Teachers’ planning to develop pupils’ skills is effective. As a result, most pupils make sound progress in their literacy, numeracy and digital skills from their starting points. Staff plan a range of purposeful activities which ensure that pupils have interesting experiences that engage their interest. However, provision does not provide regular opportunities for pupils to make independent choices about what to learn and how to present their work. On the whole, staff plan suitable opportunities for pupils to learn in the outdoor areas. However, teachers do not provide enough opportunities for the youngest pupils to develop their independent learning skills or their creative ability in the areas inside and outside the classroom. A notable aspect of the school’s work is the headteacher’s effective and robust leadership. She sets high expectations for all members of the school and plans various opportunities to support staff’s professional development. Leaders have created a shared vision that demonstrates pride in the school’s local community. Governors are supportive of all the school’s activities and commit themselves appropriately to supporting and challenging leaders. However, there are not enough formal opportunities for governors to be included in activities to support the school’s self-evaluation processes.

Average Parent Rating


“Learning needs ignored”


In my experience, this school discriminates pupils with learning needs and doesn't give proper support - it just excludes them.
