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 Twm o’r Nant is a designated Welsh-medium school which shares a campus with two other schools in the town of Denbigh. Currently, there are 228 pupils of compulsory school age in the school and 32 pupils aged 3-4 years. This number is less than when the school was last inspected in 2005 but the number of pupils in the lower section of the school is more than in the upper school. The pupils are taught by 10 full-time teachers and 4 part-time teachers in 11 classes. Most of the pupils will transfer to Ysgol Uwchradd Glan Clwyd at the end of their period in the school. The local authority’s Welsh-medium language and speech unit is located in the school. These pupils have been partly integrated into all aspects of the life of the school. Seven per cent (7%) of pupils are entitled to free school meals and this is significantly lower than the county and national percentages. This strongly suggests that very few pupils come from homes that are economically disadvantaged. Welsh is the first language of the home for 57% of pupils. Two children are of ethnic origin. Twenty per cent of pupils have additional learning needs (ALN) support. Four pupils have a statement, 15 pupils have language support and 9 pupils have numeracy support. No temporary or permanent exclusions were recorded in the year prior to the inspection or in the history of the school. A number of staff changes have taken place since the previous inspection in 2005, including the appointment of a new Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. Just over half the teachers and a number of assistants, particularly in the Foundation Phase, have been appointed since then. In 2010-2011, the individual school budget for Ysgol Twm o’r Nant is £3,806 per pupil which compares with a maximum of £18,610 and a minimum of £2,626 for primary schools in Denbighshire. The school has the 32nd highest budget per pupil of the 53 primary schools in Denbighshire.
