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 Penparc is a caring, happy and welcoming community. Staff, parents and pupils take pride in their school and feel strongly that it is a privilege to be a member of the close-knit learning community. Leaders have high expectations, particularly in terms of promoting well-being and ensuring that pupils enjoy their time at the school. Many pupils are enthusiastic about their learning activities and talk excitedly about their experiences. Pupils treat each other and adults with respect and courtesy, which supports most of them to behave well. They appreciate that staff are caring towards them and provide stimulating learning opportunities for them. As a result, pupils are keen to achieve well in an inclusive learning environment. Staff provide a curriculum that offers a good range of interesting experiences across the areas of learning and experience. Teachers have a beneficial working relationship with pupils and identify their personal and learning needs well. As a result, all staff provide appropriate support and assistance to support pupils to make progress. Teachers develop pupils’ skills through probing questions and provide beneficial opportunities for them to discuss their learning. With the support of teachers, pupils become increasingly independent when forming success criteria for their tasks. However, teachers do not always provide feedback that identifies the next steps in pupils’ learning effectively enough. On the whole, there are few opportunities for pupils to make choices independently about what they would like to learn and how to present their work. The headteacher has a clear vision for the school, where equity and well-being for all pupils are at the forefront. The headteacher’s positive attitude and infectious enthusiasm promote effective co-operation among leaders, staff and the school’s wider community. Leaders have an appropriate understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. They are supported by a dedicated team of governors who share the vision and are developing their responsibilities to support and challenge the school appropriately.
