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

Byrn Hafod Primary School is part of the Rainbow Federation with nearby Glan-YrAfon Primary School. They share an executive headteacher and a governing body. Both schools collaborate highly effectively to secure equity of provision across the federation. For example, staff work closely together to ensure that all pupils benefit from the same broad range of exciting learning experiences. In addition, staff from both schools have equal access to valuable opportunities for professional learning and to develop as effective leaders. This consistency impacts positively on the wellbeing and progress of pupils. Staff build strong, positive relationships with pupils and their families. They set high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and engagement with learning. They support pupils well to meet these expectations. The federation’s curriculum provides a rich range of experiences that stimulate and motivate pupils successfully. As a result, most pupils engage with their learning enthusiastically and make good progress in developing a suitably broad range of skills and knowledge as they move through the school. However, teachers do not provide enough opportunity for pupils to use their numeracy skills purposefully in their wider learning. Staff in the school’s Specialist Resource Base plan activities that meet the needs of pupils well. Teachers across the school take good account of pupils’ previous learning to set clear goals for their progress. This supports pupils to feel confident in their work and to apply themselves readily. Teachers use questioning skilfully to monitor pupils’ progress and to extend their learning beneficially. However, teachers do not provide sufficient opportunity for younger pupils to develop their skills independently through exploration and play. Staff place a high emphasis on securing the safety and well-being of all pupils. They make well-planned provision to support pupils’ emotional needs so that they feel happy and secure in school. The school provides valuable support for parents to develop their own skills and to help with their child’s learning at home. For example, staff provide opportunities for parents of pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) to meet informally with specialist teams and other parents to gain advice and share their experience. These opportunities are beneficial and strengthen the trust between staff and families. Leaders provide clear and principled direction to the work of the school. They foster a strong team ethic, which ensures that all staff are aligned to the federation’s goals and priorities. As a result, they have secured strong progress in key areas, such as developing the federation’s curriculum, providing effective and coherent support for pupils with ALN and improving pupils’ reading skills.
