The school is a Junior School and therefore caters for children from the age of 7 to 11years (Years 3-6 National Curriculum). The Authority has categorised the School as a B/A school. This means that the school can offer English medium or Welsh medium education. The children in the English classes are taught Welsh as a second language whilst the children in the Welsh classes are taught Welsh as the main medium of communication. The school has 3 English classes and group sessions cater for those children who need extra educational help. Classes are numbered in the National Curriculum Year (Years 3-6). Each class contains two different age groups of children. The children attending the two Welsh Classes are vertically grouped with an age range of 7-9 and 10-11 years.
Children leave the school in the July following their 11th birthday, to attend a local Comprehensive School - usually Bryngwyn or Ysgol Gyfun Y Strade.
