Very few have a statement of special educational needs. The headteacher was appointed to the post in January 2011 and the school was last inspected in March 2015. Since 2012, the school has been part of a formal federation with Ysgol Gynradd Carwe and Ysgol Gynradd Ponthenri under one executive headteacher and one governing body.
