About schools in Blaenau Gwent

Blaenau Gwent lists 25 schools, most of them primary schools. Its two secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Blaenau Gwent keeps a three-tier system, so two middle schools sit between the primary and secondary stages.

Estyn is the inspectorate for schools in Blaenau Gwent. Estyn no longer gives maintained schools a single overall grade, so a recent report reads as a written summary, with a follow-up category noted only where a school has one; each page shows the inspection date and links straight to the full Estyn report. Wales does not publish school-level exam results under an open licence, so these pages lead with the characteristics the Welsh Government does release, such as the share of pupils eligible for free school meals. Treat a report as a starting point and visit before you decide.

Who inspects schools in Blaenau Gwent?
Schools in Blaenau Gwent are inspected by Estyn, the education inspectorate for Wales. Estyn no longer gives maintained schools a single overall grade, so a recent report reads as a written summary, with a follow-up category noted only where a school has one. Each school page shows the inspection date and links to the full Estyn report.
How are schools in Blaenau Gwent ranked?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Blaenau Gwent. Wales does not publish school-level exam results under an open licence, so there is no fair basis for a league table. Compare schools on their Estyn reports and the characteristics the Welsh Government publishes, and treat any single measure as a starting point rather than a verdict.
How many towns are in the Blaenau Gwent local authority?
OfferDay groups the Blaenau Gwent schools across four towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the local authority is reachable.
