Inspection
Schools in Wales are inspected by Estyn, not Ofsted. Since September 2022 Estyn's reports describe what a school does well and what it needs to work on, without giving a grade.
Estyn's latest report, and any follow-up visits, are on Estyn's website. The only schools given a formal label are those in special measures or needing significant improvement.
Results
No GCSE measures have been published for this school yet. Wales publishes Capped 9 and related measures each January.
Getting a place
There is no entrance test. The council hands out the places. Brothers and sisters of current pupils and other priority groups go first; after that, the closer you live, the better your chances.
Language category: Not applicable.
You apply through Bridgend council, not the school.
Who goes here
Who the school teaches, from the latest school census.
Staff and budget
From the Welsh Government's My Local School, 2025/26.
The budget is the money the council gave the school to spend per pupil in 2025/26, £21,234 more than the Welsh average for primary schools. Small and rural schools tend to get more per pupil.
The area around the school
Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.
