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 acting headteacher has a thorough knowledge of the school’s procedures, understands the needs of all pupils well and uses this to provide it with a firm direction. She has strong support from the governors, the whole staff, pupils and parents, which ensures that a strong sense of family and teamwork continue to be firm elements of school life. One of the school’s main features is its caring, respectful and familial ethos. All members of staff, whatever their role, feel like a core part of the community and are always willing to listen to pupils’ concerns and respond appropriately, where necessary. They respond well to the needs of nearly all pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN). Nearly all pupils are happy, well behaved and take pride in belonging to this school. Most, including those who have been identified as having ALN, make sound progress in nearly all aspects of their learning. However, a minority of pupils’ reading strategies, vocabulary and language patterns are limited. This limits their enjoyment of reading, their ability to gather information from print and their ability to express themselves completely fluently in Welsh. Teachers provide a broad and interesting curriculum for pupils and consider their views sensibly about what they would like to learn in relation to the themes. This gives them ownership of their work and encourages them to give of their best. However, they do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to apply their digital skills across various areas of the curriculum or ensure that they always understand what they need to do to improve their work. The school promotes pupils’ understanding of their Welsh identity, heritage and culture very well. It takes advantage of rich opportunities to encourage pupils to celebrate their Welshness through a range of purposeful activities that nurture their knowledge, understanding and pride meaningfully and effectively. By building on this, it also gives robust consideration to teaching pupils, not only about their local area and Wales, but also about Brynsaron’s place in a wider context.
