About schools in Flintshire

Flintshire lists 82 schools, most of them primary schools. Its eleven secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Another two schools provide for children with additional needs or alternative provision.

Estyn is the inspectorate for schools in Flintshire. 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.

Common questions about schools in Flintshire

How many schools does Flintshire have?
OfferDay lists 82 schools in Flintshire, including 64 primary schools and eleven secondary schools.
Who inspects schools in Flintshire?
Schools in Flintshire 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 Flintshire ranked?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Flintshire. 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 Flintshire local authority?
OfferDay groups the Flintshire schools across ten 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.

School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register and the Welsh Government's address list of schools. Inspection information comes from Estyn. Information on this page was last updated on 18 July 2026.
