There are 152 pupils between 3 and 11 years old on roll, including 5 full-time nursery pupils and 17 pupils who attend Canolfan y Don, which is a unit for pupils with profound special educational needs.

Very few have a statement of special educational needs. The percentage of pupils with special educational needs is higher than the national average of 21%. The school was last inspected by Estyn in May 2013, and the current headteacher was appointed to the post in September 2019.
