Schools in Newtown

About schools in Newtown

The two schools listed in Newtown span more than one stage of education. A single primary school covers the early school years. One further establishment is listed here too.

Schools in Newtown 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 Newtown

How many schools are in Newtown?

OfferDay lists two schools in Newtown, including one primary school and one other establishment.

Who inspects schools in Newtown?

Schools in Newtown 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 Newtown?

OfferDay does not rank schools in Newtown. 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 9 June 2026.
