Schools near Aberdare

About schools near Aberdare

This page gathers the 60 nearest schools to the centre of Aberdare, closest first. The closest is Aberdare Park Primary, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.

Every school here is inspected by Estyn. Estyn no longer gives maintained schools a single overall grade, so follow any school for its inspection date, report and the characteristics the Welsh Government publishes. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Aberdare, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Aberdare itself, open its schools page.
