How have we plotted this catchment area map?

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.

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.
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.
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 Dyffryn Dulas is situated in the rural village of Corris, which is about six miles to the north of Machynlleth in Powys. The school is part of the Dyffryn Dulas and Pennal federation of schools, which was established in 2012. The school serves the village and nearby areas. The school admits pupils to the school on a part-time basis in the September following their third birthday, and full-time following their fourth birthday. The number of pupils who start at the school has fallen a little during the last five years. There are 47 pupils on roll at present. The children are taught in three mixed-age classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. The expertise of staff from both schools is shared in order to teach some of the basic subjects. Twelve per cent of pupils at the school are entitled to free school meals at present, which is lower than the average for Wales, namely 21%. National figures indicate that 22% of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes. However, the school indicates that 6% of pupils come from homes where Welsh is the main language. Welsh is the medium of teaching and learning in the Foundation Phase. In key stage 2, pupils are taught through the medium of Welsh and English, with the aim of making them bilingual by the time they transfer to the secondary school at 11 years of age. About 23% of pupils are on the additional learning needs register, including a very few pupils who have a statement of special educational needs. These figures are similar to the national averages. The school was last inspected in October 2007. Over the last 18 months, there has been some instability among staff and leaders at the school. The school’s acting strategic headteacher has led and managed Ysgol Dyffryn Dulas and Ysgol Pennal since September 2013. The individual school budget per pupil for Ysgol Gynradd Dyffryn Dulas in 2013-2014 is £4,630. The maximum per pupil in primary schools in Gwynedd is £10,616 and the minimum is £2,936. Ysgol Gynradd Dyffryn Dulas is in 37th position of the 103 primary schools in Gwynedd in terms of the school budget per pupil.
