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

The school is a homely, safe and inclusive community that promotes pupils’ well-being very successfully. Nearly all pupils behave very well. They are polite and respectful towards others. They feel that staff support them well, listen to them and deal appropriately with any concerns they may have. Most pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. They listen well to teachers’ instructions and concentrate diligently on their work during learning sessions. Very few have Welsh communication skills and social skills that correspond to, or are higher than, what is expected for their age and stage of development on entry to the school. However, most make sound progress in their learning from their starting points. The headteacher, the deputy headteacher and the rest of the teaching team work together enthusiastically to encourage pupils to speak Welsh and to be proud of their Welsh identity. They demonstrate high professional values and conduct which aim to ensure that pupils do their best on nearly all occasions. The curriculum is broad and interesting for pupils and develops their literacy, numeracy and digital skills well and encourages them to enjoy learning. Although most pupils’ mathematical skills develop well, there are very few opportunities for them to apply them to real-life situations within their themes. Although pupils learn about some of the effects of the Second World War on the people of Bonymaen, learning experiences that are designed specifically for them to learn about and appreciate the rich history and geography of their local area are limited. On the whole, the school’s self-evaluation procedures are appropriate and provide a fairly accurate picture of its strengths. However, they are not always incisive enough to enable leaders to identify exactly the specific areas that need improving. There is a close relationship between the school and parents, Cylch Meithrin Meini Bach and other local schools. These relationships ensure that pupils start primary and secondary school as confident and happy as possible.
