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.

How School Guide Rates Secondary Schools

For secondary schools in Wales, schools are rated on key performance indicators for pupils up to the age of 16 (GCSE only) due to the fact the government did not publish A level data for the last academic year.

School Description

Since its formation in 2020, leaders have succeeded in establishing a close knit community and developed an ethos of ‘Teulu’ Ysgol Llanfyllin, based on being one school. Staff work well together to understand the well-being needs of pupils and in particular, cater suitably for those who are most vulnerable. Most pupils feel well supported and safe as a result of this approach. Teachers and support staff foster positive working relationships with pupils. In a few cases, where teaching is strongest, teachers ensure an appropriate pace to learning and have high expectations. The majority of teachers plan suitably to meet pupils’ needs, give clear explanations and check for progress regularly. In a minority of cases, where teaching is not as strong, teachers do not have high enough expectations or provide suitable challenge. In general, most pupils of primary age make suitable progress in developing their skills and understanding. A majority of secondary aged pupils make appropriate progress. However, in a minority of cases, shortcomings in teaching, particularly in the cyfnod uwchradd, lead to pupils becoming disengaged in their learning and making less progress than they should. Most pupils in the sixth form make sound progress and display extremely positive attitudes towards their learning. The school offers an appropriately broad and balanced curriculum and generally caters well for individual needs. It has worked constructively on its vision for Curriculum for Wales known as the ‘Tyfu’ curriculum. This has been shared widely and is well understood by most staff. Recently, the school has strengthened its approach to coordinate the provision for the progressive development of pupils’ skills. Currently, this is not embedded well enough across the school. The headteacher provides assured and careful leadership underpinned by a strong moral purpose. Alongside the senior leadership team, they continue to develop the culture of an all-age school. Leaders have successfully created a strong safeguarding culture across the school and ensured that pupils generally feel safe and supported. However, leadership has not had enough impact on the quality of teaching, particularly in the cyfnod uwchradd. Although leaders have a sound understanding of the main strengths and areas to improve in the school’s provision, they do not focus precisely enough on the impact of provision on pupils’ learning and behaviour in order to evaluate its impact.
