About schools in Bridgend

Bridgend lists 50 schools, most of them primary schools. Its six 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 Bridgend. 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 Bridgend

How many schools does Bridgend have?
OfferDay lists 50 schools in Bridgend, including 41 primary schools and six secondary schools.
Who inspects schools in Bridgend?
Schools in Bridgend 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 Bridgend ranked?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Bridgend. 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.

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 10 July 2026.
