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 Penmorfa provides a caring and inclusive environment for its pupils, which encourages them to learn, be happy and participate fully in school life. Pupils take part enthusiastically in the activities provided for them and use resources well to improve their knowledge and understanding, both inside and outside the classroom. The purposeful working relationships that exist with their teachers and support staff promote the school’s vision successfully, which is 'Making the Most of Everyone’. Pupils develop good speaking, listening, reading and numeracy skills. Their artistic, creative, thinking and physical skills are also well established, and they are confident learners. They develop suitable extended writing skills and their application of digital skills across the curriculum is appropriate to their stage of development. Learning is particularly successful where the teaching is vibrant and purposeful. Additionally, where mutually respectful and positive relationships exist amongst staff, teachers collaborate effectively with each other and support staff to enhance pupils’ learning. Overall, the school environment promotes purposeful learning opportunities and the provision for outdoor learning is highly effective. Staff make outstanding use of the school grounds to provide innovative learning experiences for pupils to learn in authentic and meaningful activities. Staff provide exemplary support, care and guidance for pupils in all aspects of school life. This bespoke and intuitive approach to meeting the needs of individual pupils motivates them to focus on their own learning, life-skills and well-being extremely well. They are keen to learn and they are ambitious and capable learners. A strong consequence of this is that pupils’ behaviour is good. The headteacher provides strong and effective leadership. The senior leadership team and governors share her clear vision, and most staff work cohesively with them to secure the best provision possible to improve pupils’ outcomes. Leaders evaluate the school's work to plan for improvements robustly. Rigorous monitoring and evaluation processes highlight the headteacher’s determination to ensure success for the pupils and the community. The monitoring practices and improvement plans align well to relevant training for staff to develop their skills, through a purposeful programme of professional learning opportunities.
