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 Tal-y-Bont is a caring, happy and familial community. All staff work together effectively to provide an inclusive and friendly ethos where pupils behave respectfully and politely. Pupils show positive attitudes to learning and make sound progress from their starting points. By the end of their time at the school, many pupils develop their literacy and digital skills well. However, teachers do not provide purposeful opportunities for pupils to develop and apply their numeracy skills effectively enough across the curriculum consistently enough. Most pupils develop their creative skills effectively and their work is displayed and celebrated attractively around the school. Teachers plan a curriculum that provides a range of purposeful experiences for pupils across all areas of learning and experience. The pupil’s voice is an important part of the process for planning activities and, as a result, most pupils apply themselves enthusiastically to their learning. There is a positive atmosphere in the classrooms and they are hard-working learning communities. Overall, teachers use a suitable range of effective teaching techniques. However, opportunities for pupils to make independent choices about how to present their work are inconsistent. The headteacher provides strong and passionate leadership and is supported well by the assistant headteacher. Leaders evaluate the school’s work to plan for improvements thoroughly by using robust self-evaluation processes. The governing body is supportive and knows the school well in terms of its strengths and areas for development.
