About schools in Rhyl

Rhyl lists two schools across a mix of phases. Rhyl keeps a three-tier system, so one middle school sits between the primary and secondary stages. A single primary school covers the early school years.

Estyn is the inspectorate for schools in Rhyl. 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 Rhyl

How many schools does Rhyl have?
OfferDay lists two schools in Rhyl, including one primary school and one middle school.
Who inspects schools in Rhyl?
Schools in Rhyl 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 Rhyl ranked?
OfferDay does not rank schools in Rhyl. 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 13 April 2026.
