St Philip Evans R.C. Primary School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

St Philip Evans Roman Catholic Primary School is in Llanedeyrn in Cardiff. There are 398 pupils on roll aged from 3 to 11 years, including 36 who attend part-time in the nursery. The school organises its pupils into fourteen single-age classes, plus the nursery.

Around 19% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is similar to the national average of 18%. The school identifies about 13% of pupils as having special educational needs. This is below the national average of 21%.

A minority of pupils come from an ethnic minority background and around a quarter have English as an additional language. A very few pupils speak Welsh at home. The headteacher took up her post in January 2000.

The school's previous... inspection was in January 2013. 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.
