Schools in Pontypridd

About schools in Pontypridd

Most of the 20 schools listed in Pontypridd are primary schools. Its one secondary school is where pupils go on to after primary. Pontypridd keeps a three-tier system, so three middle schools sit between the primary and secondary stages.

Schools in Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd

How many schools are in Pontypridd?

OfferDay lists 20 schools in Pontypridd, including 15 primary schools and three middle schools.

Who inspects schools in Pontypridd?

Schools in Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd?

OfferDay does not rank schools in Pontypridd. 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.
