Ysgol Trefnant

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Ysgol Trefnant Voluntary Aided Church in Wales Primary School serves the village of Trefnant and surrounding area in the county of Denbighshire. There are 83 pupils aged 3 to 11 years at the school including 12 pupils in the nursery. Pupils are taught in four mixed age classes.

Around 19% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is close to the national average of 18%. Nearly all pupils are white British and speak English as their main language. A very few pupils speak Welsh at home.

The school identifies that around 22% of pupils have additional learning needs, which is close to the national average of 21%. The current headteacher took up her post in 2007. In January 2016, the diocese asked the headteacher to t...ake on the role of acting headteacher of another Church in Wales school in Denbighshire.

The schools have worked collaboratively since this time but have not established a formal federation. The headteacher shares her time equally between the two sites. An assistant headteacher provides leadership at the school when the headteacher is off site.

The school's last inspection was in October 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.
