Gwauncelyn primary

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Gwauncelyn Primary is a community school in Tonteg, near Pontypridd in the local authority of Rhondda Cynon Taf.

There are 424 pupils on roll between the ages of 3 and 11. This includes 27 part-time pupils and 23 full-time pupils who attend the school's nursery. The number on roll has risen steadily since the last inspection in 2011.

The school is currently organised into 13 single-age classes and one mixed-age class. The rolling average for the past three years means that approximately 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. This is much lower than the all-Wales average of around 19%.

The school has identified that around 11% of pupils have additional needs. This is well below the national average (21%).... A very few pupils have statements of special educational needs.

No pupils speak Welsh at home, and a very few pupils speak English as an additional language. The headteacher took up her post in September 2013. At the time of the inspection, the school was led by the deputy headteacher in the capacity of acting headteacher.
