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

Pupils at Ysgol Pen y Bryn primary enjoy coming to school and make strong progress in their academic and social skills. They are caring, tolerant and respectful towards each other and to adults. There is a feeling of mutual trust and respect between pupils and staff. Pupils know that adults in the school care for them and that they can turn to them when they face challenges or have difficulties. Senior leaders have worked hard to create this calm and nurturing ethos and it plays a key role in ensuring effective learning in the school. The school provides a rich, broad, and balanced range of learning experiences and additional provision that meets the educational and wider needs and interests of pupils well. Teachers take good account of pupils’ ideas when planning the curriculum and this helps to ensure that most pupils display high levels of interest and engagement in their learning. Staff ensure that most teaching is purposeful and enables pupils to use existing and newly learned skills in real life contexts. This means that, as pupils move through the school, most develop a secure understanding of what and how they are learning. Leaders set a positive and ambitious tone for the school’s work. They promote collaboration and teamwork very well and place a high priority on developing pupils as ambitious, confident, and independent learners. They are good at identifying the areas of the school’s work that are most effective and those aspects that need to be improved. This supports the school to plan and implement improvement strategies effectively. This is reflected in the work by the whole staff team to develop the school’s curriculum ready for the implementation of the Curriculum for Wales.
