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.

How School Guide Rates Secondary Schools

For secondary schools in Wales, schools are rated on key performance indicators for pupils up to the age of 16 (GCSE only) due to the fact the government did not publish A level data for the last academic year.

School Description

Main evaluation Ysgol y Creuddyn is a homely school where the well-being and individual needs of all pupils are at the heart of its work. Staff listen carefully to pupils’ views to ensure that their voice is central to everything. The school’s pupils are likeable and respectful of each other, staff and visitors. They take pride in their school and behave well in their lessons and around the school. Sixth-form pupils are extremely mature and polite. Many make strong progress and their contribution to school life is notable. Many teachers are enthusiastic about their subject and about learning. This has a positive effect on pupils’ attitudes. These teachers are strong language models who plan interesting lessons that build in terms of challenge. As a result, many pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN), make sound progress over time. In a minority of lessons where teaching is more effective, teachers challenge pupils to think deeply and ask probing questions. Pupils in these lessons make strong progress. However, in a few cases, teachers’ expectations of pupils’ use of the Welsh language are too low. As a result of strong support from staff, nearly all pupils feel safe within the inclusive ethos of ‘Teulu’r Creuddyn’. The most vulnerable pupils receive effective support in response to their individual needs. Through successful collaboration with partner primary schools, pupils settle quickly into secondary education. The language ‘immersion’ scheme enables pupils who arrive from non-Welsh-speaking backgrounds to become fluent quickly. Staff have a clear vision to provide valuable learning experiences for pupils which is based on the school motto, ‘Dawn, Dysg, Daioni’. Their purposeful planning to develop Curriculum for Wales and assess pupils’ progress is notable. The opportunities that pupils are given to develop their numeracy skills in various context across the curriculum are a notable strength. Staff succeed in building on secure basic skills from mathematics lessons. These curricular experiences are enriched with an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities to develop their wider skills. The acting headteacher has a clear vision that is conveyed consistently by a dedicated team of staff. Staff have good knowledge of pupils’ individual needs. Through their comprehensive quality assurance systems, leaders have a sound understanding of the main strengths and areas for improvement within the school. They seek the views of pupils and staff regularly and include them when making key decisions. Leaders have succeeded in leading improvements in areas such as teaching and learning, and ensured that many pupils make sound progress over time. However, there is room to strengthen accountability between leaders to respond more sharply to the school’s main improvement priorities, such as improving pupils’ attendance.
