About schools in Torfaen

Torfaen lists 33 schools, most of them primary schools. Its five secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Torfaen keeps a three-tier system, so one middle school sits between the primary and secondary stages.

Estyn is the inspectorate for schools in Torfaen. 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 Torfaen

How many schools does Torfaen have?
OfferDay lists 33 schools in Torfaen, including 25 primary schools and five secondary schools.
Who inspects schools in Torfaen?
Schools in Torfaen 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 Torfaen ranked?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Torfaen. 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 Torfaen local authority?
OfferDay groups the Torfaen schools across three 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 15 July 2026.
