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

Brynamman Primary School is a homely and welcoming community where pupils are respected by all staff. During their time at the school, most pupils make sound progress in developing a good range of skills. Provision to develop pupils’ Welsh language skills is a notable strength and most develop to become confident Welsh speakers. Across the school, most pupils apply their literacy and numeracy skills well in their work across the curriculum. All members of staff have high expectations of pupils and provide activities that engage their interest successfully. Pupils are supported well by a team of effective assistants. As a result, nearly all pupils behave well and participate actively in their lessons. Pupils contribute appropriate ideas to influence what they learn. They become increasingly independent learners as a result of refining the school’s teaching methods in line with Curriculum for Wales. Pupils are given the responsibility of representing their peers on different groups, such as the school council. However, their role has not been developed in full to have a wider effect on the school’s life and work. The headteacher leads the school well and is supported effectively by other senior leaders. Together, they create an environment where all staff are valued and work together diligently as a team. Governors support the school effectively and provide challenge, where appropriate. Leaders evaluate the school’s work accurately and all staff are given valuable opportunities to have input into the process. They have a good understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Leaders respond proactively to support pupils to arrive at school punctually and consistently. However, a very few pupils continue to arrive at school late and, overall, attendance rates are too low.
