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

Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Bronllwyn is a happy and homely school. All staff work together successfully to provide a caring, supportive and safe environment for pupils. As a result, pupils build highly positive relationships with members of staff, which contributes positively to the lively learning environment. Pupils acquire the Welsh language quickly and effectively and speak confidently in an interesting range of learning contexts. They show pride in speaking Welsh and are proud of developing as confident, bilingual learners by the end of their time at the school. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are strengths. They are caring towards their peers, treat adults with respect and are polite to visitors, whether in lessons or during break time. Most pupils listen carefully to instructions and apply themselves enthusiastically to their learning. They work together diligently on a range of tasks. The school’s clear vision for developing the curriculum and the firm emphasis on shared values support teachers and staff to provide a rich range of interesting learning experiences that engage and maintain pupils’ enthusiasm and meet their needs successfully. However, provision does not always support pupils to make increasingly independent choices about their learning. Most pupils make good progress across the school, including those with additional learning needs. There is a strong focus on developing literacy skills in all classes and teachers and support staff work together effectively to ensure that pupils achieve well by using these skills. However, pupils are not given enough opportunities to apply their numeracy skills often enough, and digital skills, across the whole range, have not been developed sufficiently. Pupils’ knowledge of e-safety is a strength. The headteacher provides clear and purposeful leadership. She values the views of staff, pupils, parents and governors and ensures that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. She is supported skilfully by a dedicated governing body with a sound understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development.
