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

The warm and family ethos of Ysgol yr Eifl is situated a short distance from Trefor beach and in the shadow of the mountains. The headteacher and all staff contribute successfully to creating a caring and inclusive ethos. Nearly all pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning and, during their time at the school, most, including those with additional learning needs (ALN), make sound progress. One of the school’s main features is its caring, respectful and homely feel. All members of staff feel a core part of the community and are always willing to listen to the concerns of pupils and respond to them appropriately. The school has a strong Welsh ethos and nearly all pupils demonstrate pride in their school, in addition to a clear appreciation of the culture and history of the local area. The school takes advantage of beneficial opportunities to encourage pupils to celebrate their Welshness through a range of purposeful activities, which foster their understanding, knowledge and pride effectively and meaningfully. This supports pupils to show a level of motivation and interest in their work and reflects the nature and context of the school successfully. Most pupils are willing to discuss their views maturely with their peers and contribute their ideas. They treat each other and staff with respect and are willing to support others. Nearly all pupils’ skills are progressing strongly. However, pupils are not always given opportunities to play a prominent part in contributing to the wider life and work of the school. As a result, pupils are not always completely sure how to improve their work. The headteacher provides caring and purposeful leadership. He is supported skilfully by a dedicated governing body, which has a sound understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development. On the whole, the school’s priorities have derived from the leaders’ knowledge of their school. However, strategic planning is not always specific or incisive enough.
