About schools in Caernarfon

OfferDay lists one school in Caernarfon, a primary school.

Schools in Caernarfon 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.

Which are the best schools in Caernarfon?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Caernarfon. 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 22 July 2026.
