Templeton C.P. School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Templeton Community Primary School is on the outskirts of the small village of Templeton between Narberth and Kilgetty, in Pembrokeshire. The school serves a very large rural catchment area with most pupils travelling a distance.

There are 110 pupils on roll, including 3 part-time nursery pupils, in four mixed-age classes. The percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is around 1.9%.

This is well below the Wales average of 19%. Around 23% of pupils are on the additional needs register, which is just above the Wales average of 21%. Most pupils are white British.

A very few pupils learn English as an additional language and hardly any pupils speak Welsh at home. The school joined in an informal federation ...with Templeton Community Primary School in September 2014. This arrangement was formalised in April 2016 and a single senior management team and governing body oversees both schools.

The headteacher, who was the existing headteacher of Tavernspite Community Primary School, became executive headteacher of the school in September 2014. Templeton's last inspection was in February 2009. This is the first inspection of the federated school.
