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 Pontrobert is a happy, homely and extremely hardworking place where the whole school community works together successfully and pupils make sound progress. The headteacher, members of the governing body and all staff work together closely and effectively to improve provision for the benefit of pupils. The school focuses successfully on promoting pupils’ awareness of their local area, its history and traditions. Pupils demonstrate pride in their heritage and enjoy learning about famous people from the area and place them in a wider context. Pupils’ oral skills are a strength and their reading and writing skills develop very well. A strong culture of promoting oral skills has been embedded firmly in the school and pupils express themselves confidently and with a good level of accuracy. Many pupils write to a high standard and, by the top of the school, they create various genres very maturely. Their numeracy skills are sound and they use digital equipment and software effectively to support their work. All older pupils are members of different pupil groups, which supports their peers to understand the importance of using the Welsh language and support them to gain confidence in using digital equipment. This creates a strong sense of belonging. There is a very supportive working relationship between adults and pupils and this builds pupils’ confidence successfully. Their behaviour is excellent and they demonstrate exceptionally positive attitudes towards their learning. They are eager to do their best and persevere when tasks challenge them. An excellent feature of the school’s work is the way in which teachers develop opportunities for pupils to select various activities that nurture their independence successfully. This work is a means for pupils to develop their skills and suggest how they would like to interpret the tasks. As a result, many pupils develop as skilful and independent individuals. The school provides an effective range of support to support pupils’ well-being and supports their learning needs successfully.
