Methodology

Rhondda Cynon Taf has 112 open primary & secondary schools. Closed schools are excluded from every list on this page.

Schools here are not inspected by Ofsted and do not appear in the DfE performance tables for England, so we have no measure that is comparable with the rest of our data. Rather than publish a score we cannot stand behind, we show the schools without one — see our methodology. Check the admitting authority for local application deadlines.

Frequently asked questions

How many primary & secondary schools are there in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
There are 112 open primary & secondary schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf (closed schools are excluded).
Do you rank the primary & secondary schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
No. Schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf are not inspected by Ofsted and are not covered by the DfE performance tables for England, so we have no measure comparable with the rest of our data and do not publish a Schools Near Me score for them. The table above lists the schools A–Z. We never list closed schools.
How is the Schools Near Me score calculated?
The Schools Near Me score is a 0–100 composite combining the school's last historic Ofsted grade, published exam and assessment results, attendance and pupil–teacher ratio. It is not an Ofsted rating. Full methodology: https://schoolsnearme.ai/methodology#score
Are Ofsted single-word grades still current in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
No. Ofsted retired single-word overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) on 10 November 2025 and replaced them with report cards. Any single-word grade shown on this page is the school's last historic grade from before that date and is not comparable to the new report cards. See https://schoolsnearme.ai/methodology#ofsted
How do I apply for a school place in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
Primary and secondary applications in Rhondda Cynon Taf are coordinated by the local authority on the national timetable: apply by 31 October for Year 7 secondary entry and by 15 January for Reception primary entry, with offers on 1 March and 16 April respectively.
