About schools in Neath Port Talbot
Most of the 65 schools listed in Neath Port Talbot are primary schools. Its five secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Neath Port Talbot keeps a three-tier system, so three middle schools sit between the primary and secondary stages.
Schools in Neath Port Talbot 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.

- OfferDay lists 65 schools in Neath Port Talbot, including 53 primary schools and five secondary schools.
- Who inspects schools in Neath Port Talbot?
- Schools in Neath Port Talbot 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 Neath Port Talbot?
- OfferDay does not rank schools in Neath Port Talbot. 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 Neath Port Talbot local authority?
- OfferDay groups the Neath Port Talbot schools across nine 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.
