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

Ysgol Bro Brynach is part of a federation with Ysgol Beca. The school’s friendly, inclusive and happy ethos is impressive and is a strong feature of all its work. Most pupils are well behaved and treat each other and adults with respect and courtesy. The school’s culture of safeguarding is robust and pupils feel safe while undertaking their learning experiences. As a result of detailed and purposeful plans, most pupils make good progress in their numeracy and literacy skills. Planning for pupils’ digital skills is not as well developed. As a result, they do not make as much progress in their digital skills. Staff work together effectively to ensure that the curriculum provides a wide range of exciting and rich experiences. Pupils’ views are at the heart of the planning process; therefore, most immerse themselves in their learning experiences enthusiastically. Staff provide engaging and stimulating experiences through ‘Gwener Gwyllt’ activities, which develop pupils’ skills effectively. Pupils respond with curiosity and motivation and genuinely enjoy their learning. However, pupils are not given enough opportunities to choose independently how they would like to complete tasks and present their work. Staff foster a warm and supportive working relationship with pupils and identify their needs well. There is a hardworking environment within the school and a constant buzz to all its activities. Overall, teachers use a range of teaching techniques skilfully. The acting headteacher has a clear vision for the school which has been shared purposefully with staff, parents and pupils. The vision is based on giving all pupils an opportunity to thrive within a caring environment. She is supported with dedication and passion by the staff. Although there have been inconsistencies in the leadership of the federation over an extended period of time, staff and governors have succeeded in gaining a suitable understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Governors are very supportive of the school and show a good awareness of their roles and responsibilities. They support leaders and staff appropriately.
