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

Leaders, staff and pupils succeed in developing an environment where nearly all pupils enjoy and feel safe at school and are valued and respected. The school developed good ideas to support pupils’ wellbeing during the pandemic, by strengthening their emotional resilience and reigniting their interest in fitness. Most pupils have good attitudes to learning, work respectfully with each other and adults and are willing to persevere with their work. One of the school’s clear strengths is the way that it provides stimulating and interesting learning experiences that engage most pupils’ interest effectively. The school’s significant investment in equipment and resources to create appealing and stimulating outdoor areas ensures excellent opportunities for pupils to engage in their learning. Many pupils make good progress in their learning during their time at the school, but there is scope to improve their writing and numeracy skills. Pupils’ oral Welsh skills are good and the work of teachers and staff to support this is sound. The school is focussing well on preparing for the new Curriculum for Wales and making beneficial considerations to improve pedagogy. Teachers and staff plan interesting lessons and activities for pupils and encourage pupils’ enthusiasm and thinking skills successfully. However, there is room to strengthen the feedback that they provide for pupils so that they know how to improve, and to challenge all pupils appropriately. The school has a good record of making beneficial improvements and leaders ensure that they gather a good range of evidence so that they know what works well and what to improve for the future. Sharpening self-evaluation arrangements to scrutinise pupils’ standards more would strengthen the process, in addition to developing methods to evaluate progress against the targets that have been set by the school.
