How these rankings workShow

Schools are sorted by their most recent Estyn inspection grade (Excellent first, then Good, then lower grades). Within each grade, schools are ordered by pupil numbers as a tiebreaker.

This ranking does not directly factor in exam results, parent satisfaction, or admissions difficulty. For exam-based comparisons, use our league tables. For individual school details, visit each school's profile page.

Data sources: Estyn inspection reports, and official school census data. Updated regularly from government publications.

Rankings reflect publicly available government data and do not constitute a recommendation. The right school depends on your child's individual needs.
