Llantarnam Community Primary School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Llantarnam Community Primary School is in Cwmbran in the Torfaen local authority.

In November 2016, the school relocated to a new site. The catchment area spans the district of Llantarnam and Oakfield and is currently growing rapidly due to a number of new housing developments around and near the school. There are around 300 pupils on roll, between the ages of three and eleven.

This includes 40 nursery pupils who attend the school part-time. There are 11 classes, including 5 mixed-age classes. The three year average for pupils eligible for free school meals is around 18%, which is similar to the Wales average.

The school has approximately 18% of pupils on its register of pupils with additional needs. This is lower... than the Wales average. Most pupils are of white British ethnicity and a very few pupils have English as an additional language.

The long standing headteacher retired at the end of the summer term 2017. The deputy headteacher took on the role of acting headteacher for the autumn term 2017, supported by the new headteacher who became the substantive head in January 2018. The school was last inspected in July 2011.
