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’ well-being is at the heart of Afon-Y-Felin Primary School and nearly all enjoy attending school. Pupils state that the school is a calm and caring place where they feel safe and able to speak to staff if they feel worried or anxious. Most pupils are polite and treat adults and each other with respect. Over their time in school and from low starting points, many pupils, including those with additional learning needs (ALN), make good use of the wide range of learning experiences on offer and make good progress in most areas of learning. Many pupils are well motivated to learn and collaborate enthusiastically on interesting topics. They enjoy helping leaders to make decisions about improving their school and are very proud of the important changes they have made. Leaders have created a good team ethos amongst staff who successfully support pupils’ well-being. They have formed close working partnerships with many outside agencies, earned the confidence of parents and established a range of effective approaches to identify the correct provision so that pupils can achieve. Leaders and staff are beginning to develop a curriculum that reflects the environment and community in which they live. It offers pupils a suitable range of learning experiences that encourage pupils to explore and learn. A strength of the school is the way leaders, staff and pupils work together to promote the school’s Welsh identity and the language of Wales. As a result, many pupils enjoy improving their Welsh language skills and are confident when speaking Welsh around the school. Leaders, alongside the governing body, keep the work of the school under review and there are suitable arrangements for monitoring the quality of school improvements. On a few occasions monitoring activity does not always identify areas that need improving, for instance on the way teachers support pupils to improve their work or how their planning might improve pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills.
