This is above the average for Wales of 18%. The school has identified 24% of pupils as having additional learni...ng needs, which is above the national average of 21%. A very few pupils come from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Most pupils are of white British ethnicity and come from homes where English is the main language. Very few pupils speak Welsh at home. This is the new school's first inspection since amalgamation.

The headteacher took up his post in September 2017. Estyn does not inspect religious education or the religious content of collective worship when it is a school with a religious character. Instead, the governing body is required by law to arrange for religious education and collective worship to be inspected separately.
