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

Pupils at Ysgol Dyffryn Trannon enjoy learning and are enthusiastic during lessons and in activities around the school. They have strong attitudes to learning due to the positive working relationship with their teachers and assistants. As a result, a contented and inclusive environment permeates the school and the Welsh and English stream work successfully with each other. The school environment promotes beneficial learning opportunities and most pupils learn productively and delight in their lessons. Teaching is sound and, although consistency needs to be ensured in practices when responding to pupils’ work, the teachers’ passion towards making improvements meets pupils’ needs effectively. This helps most pupils to make purposeful progress in developing their skills and understanding and they achieve well from their starting points. Planning is detailed and includes an interesting range of learning experiences that are provided for pupils. However, planning does not support effective and consistent progression in pupils’ skills as they move through the school. All staff promote a positive ethos of support and care for pupils in all areas of the school. This encourages pupils to take responsibility for their own wellbeing and behaviour well. As a result, their self-discipline contributes to their positive attitudes to learning and their resilience to persevere with tasks. Staff motivate pupils to gain confidence is themselves as individuals, in addition to developing respect and sensitivity towards the feelings of others. Pupils’ speaking and listening skills are a strength across the school and they make swift progress in their reading in digital skills as they move through the school. As a result, most pupils use these skills successfully across all areas of the curriculum. However, a minority of pupils do not develop their extended writing skills and apply their numeracy skills across the curriculum wholly effectively. Leaders evaluate the school’s work thoroughly in planning for improvements. The headteacher provides robust and purposeful leadership and is determined to succeed for the benefit of pupils and the local area. The senior management team and governors share her purposeful vision and work well together to ensure that the school succeeds. The headteacher shares responsibilities effectively among the staff and provides meaningful opportunities for their professional learning. This contributes to a thriving whole-school ethos where, on the whole, staff and particularly pupils, feel that they are valued for their contributions to school life.
