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

Penyrheol Primary School is an inclusive and welcoming school that provides pupils with a rich variety of exciting learning experiences. Staff ensure that all pupils have access to a broad range of opportunities that engage their interest, stimulate their curiosity and develop their skills, knowledge and understanding well. Because of this, most pupils enjoy their time in school and show a high degree of enthusiasm in lessons. Teachers build on pupils’ previous learning successfully. They plan motivating lessons that develop pupils’ literacy, numeracy and digital skills progressively, using purposeful activities that are well matched to pupils’ needs. Teachers, across the school, provide an appropriate level of support and challenge that ensures most pupils make strong progress in developing their skills over time. However, they do not always provide enough opportunity for pupils to learn independently. Staff question pupils to assess their progress and to extend their thinking effectively. They provide useful feedback to pupils that helps them to further their learning successfully. Staff have established positive relationships with parents and with partners in the local community. They build on these to enrich the curriculum beneficially. The school makes good use of its grounds and local area to develop pupils’ understanding of the environment and of their Welsh heritage and identity. Staff promote the Welsh language well and foster pupils’ positive attitudes towards speaking Welsh. Leaders and teachers set high expectations for themselves and for pupils’ progress and attitudes to learning. They model these consistently well. As a result, pupils’ behaviour is exemplary and all members of the staff team demonstrate strong professional commitment to their role. Leaders and governors set a clear direction for the school’s development. They focus beneficially on securing consistently effective teaching and have created a climate where all staff collaborate effectively to develop their practice further.
