This is slightly higher than the national average. Currently, there are 191 pupils between 7 and 11 of age on the school roll and they are transferred from the town’s feeder infants’ schools following the completion of their key stage 1 (KS1) education at the end of Year 2.

There are nine classes, three English medium mixed age / mixed ability classes for Year 3 and Year 4 and three English medium mixed age / mixed ability classes for Year 5 and Year 6. The Welsh medium unit is also organized into mixed age / mixed ability classes, one for Year 3 and Year 4 whilst the other is for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils.
