Around 2.0% of pupils have statements of special educational needs, which is similar to the average figure for Wales as a whole. Twenty-two per cent of pupils come from minority ethnic backgrounds and close to 20% speak English as an additional language.

No pupils speak Welsh at home. The headteacher has been in post for five years. There is also one deputy headteacher, three assistant headteachers and three temporary assistant headteachers.

The school is currently a pioneer school and is working with the Welsh Government and other schools to take forward developments relating to professional learning. 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.
