Trimsaran C.P. School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Ysgol Gynradd Trimsaran is in the centre of the village of Trimsaran near Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire local authority. A new building was opened on the site of the old school in September 2017.

There are 166 pupils between 3 and 11 years old on roll, including 26 part-time nursery pupils. They are divided into eight classes. In 2014, the school transferred from a category A/B school under Carmarthenshire's language policy to a category A school, namely a school in which Welsh is the main medium of teaching and learning.

Approximately 32% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. This is significantly higher than the national percentage. Approximately 34% of pupils come from homes in which at least one parent speaks Wel...sh.

Very few are from ethnic minority backgrounds. The school has identified 27% of its pupils as having additional learning needs. This is higher than the national percentage.

The headteacher was appointed to the post in October 2010. She is also the headteacher of a nearby school that works within an informal partnership. The school was last inspected in April 2012.
