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 Gwaun Gynfi is a welcoming and inclusive community that places a high priority on its pupils’ well-being. An exceptional feature is the school’s dedication to providing a range of nurture groups for the most vulnerable pupils. Despite the challenges the school has faced as a result of the pandemic, the sense of a close-knit community among parents, staff and pupils has meant that it has faced these challenges with obvious resilience. The school has a strong Welsh ethos with a clear emphasis on providing a range of valuable experiences that reflect the nature and context of the school successfully. The school provides a wide range of experiences to develop pupils’ creative skills, which contributes highly effectively to increasing their self-confidence and their ability to work together. Teachers provide rich and stimulating learning experiences that engage most pupils’ interest. This enables them to develop the skills that they need to take advantage of the whole curriculum. On the whole, pupils make sound progress and develop their literacy, numeracy and digital skills successfully, although they do not always apply these skills well enough across the curriculum. They enjoy the opportunities they are given to influence what they would like to learn within the term’s theme. However, their role in guiding their own learning and being independent learners has not been developed in full. The headteacher provides strong leadership and is supported well by the deputy headteacher. Governors are supportive and know the school well. They ask challenging questions about decisions when necessary. All staff are dedicated and enthusiastic and work together closely and effectively as a team. They show strong commitment to promoting continuous and sustainable improvements.
