About schools in Caerphilly

Most of the 36 schools listed in Caerphilly are primary schools. Its five secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. One independent school sits outside the state system and sets its own admissions.

Schools in Caerphilly 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.

Common questions about schools in Caerphilly

How many schools are in Caerphilly?
OfferDay lists 36 schools in Caerphilly, including 29 primary schools and five secondary schools.
Who inspects schools in Caerphilly?
Schools in Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Caerphilly. 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 15 July 2026.
