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 Santes Dwynwen is a supportive community, which promotes a caring and positive ethos. There are warm working relationships between pupils and staff which foster a good learning environment and pride in belonging to the school family. Support to promote pupils’ learning and well-being, and pupils’ ability to use this support, is a strong feature of the school. This helps pupils to develop sound attitudes towards their learning and well-being. Teachers plan interesting activities, which promote learning sensibly. Staff use the indoor learning environment productively to target pupils’ needs purposefully and planning in terms of activities to promote pupils’ learning is effective. However, provision of outdoor learning experiences is not as effective, particularly for the youngest pupils. Most pupils develop purposeful listening, speaking, reading and digital skills. However, teachers do not provide enough valuable opportunities for pupils to develop their extended writing and numeracy skills. In addition, the quality of teachers’ feedback does not support pupils to know what the next steps are in their learning effectively enough. The headteacher leads the school in a meaningful and caring manner and supports staff to ensure that pupils’ learning and well-being are consistent priorities. This is central to her inclusive vision. She works diligently with staff and governors to ensure that the school is a happy learning community that promotes positive opportunities for pupils. Leaders keep in close contact with the school’s wider community and build on the active relationship with parents. However, inspectors brought an issue relating to the safety of the school’s site to the attention of leaders during the inspection. Leaders evaluate the school’s work thoroughly by using regular and skilful self-evaluation processes. Monitoring activities lead to relevant improvement priorities and comprehensive training opportunities for staff to develop their skills through agreed professional learning.
