School Description

Porth Infant School was built in the 1863 and is situated in the small town of Porth in the Rhondda Valley between the Community First wards of Ynyshir, Cymmer and Trealaw. It receives pupils from these areas as well as Porth itself. The school caters for 73 pupils between the ages of three to seven, including 19 full-time nursery pupils, taught in three classes, nursery, reception/Year 1 and Year 1/Year 2. The number on roll has increased by around 20% since the last inspection. The area has many traditional terraced homes with a mixture of privately owned, housing association and rented residences. A number of families experience disadvantaged circumstances. Around 30% of pupils are entitled to free school meals, which is above the national and local authority (LA) averages. Approximately 49% of pupils are identified as having additional learning needs (ALN), of whom around 29% have special educational needs; none has a statement. No pupils are from an ethnic minority background, use English as an additional language or come from Welsh-speaking families. Around 3% are looked after by the LA. The school was last inspected in June 2005. Since then, there have been no changes in teaching staff, but a number of new support staff have been appointed and the headteacher and deputy headteacher have both been given permanent posts. The 2010-2011 individual school budget per pupil for Porth Infant School is £3943 which compares with a maximum of £9064 and a minimum of £2553 for primary schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The school has the 26th highest budget per pupil out of the 116 primary schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
