About schools in Denbighshire

Most of the 60 schools listed in Denbighshire are primary schools. Its six secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Denbighshire keeps a three-tier system, so two middle schools sit between the primary and secondary stages.

Schools in Denbighshire are inspected by Estyn. 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 Denbighshire?
Schools in Denbighshire 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.
Which are the best schools in Denbighshire?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Denbighshire. 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 Denbighshire local authority?
OfferDay groups the Denbighshire schools across seven 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.
