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

Brynhyfryd Primary School provides pupils with a safe and secure environment. Pupils have high levels of support for their well-being within this inclusive and caring school. Vulnerable pupils, in particular, have access to beneficial pastoral support which helps them settle well each day to their learning. The majority of pupils enjoy coming to school. Many behave well and are kind to each other. There is a strong culture of safeguarding at school. Overall, the quality of teaching at the school does not ensure that pupils make sufficient progress in their learning. Too often teachers do not give pupils the chance to develop as independent learners, and activities do not always challenge pupils to achieve the progress of which they are capable. Teachers do not always use the assessment of pupils’ progress to plan the next steps in their learning well enough. At times, the pace of teaching is too slow and pupils become disengaged from their learning. There are regular opportunities for targeted pupils to receive beneficial support through the school’s many interventions. As a result, most of these pupils make strong progress towards their individual targets. The school’s focus on promoting the Welsh language is successful in encouraging pupils to speak Welsh and be proud of their Welsh heritage. Most pupils use their reading skills well to support their learning in other areas of the curriculum. Leaders have improved certain aspects of the school’s provision successfully in recent years for example, reading and pastoral support. However, they have not recognised or addressed important shortcomings in the work of the school, such as improving teaching. There is a lack of distributed leadership, which often means that members of staff do not have sufficient opportunities to contribute to the school’s work. Members of the governing body are supportive of school but do not challenge senior leaders well enough over the standards that pupils achieve.
