In Tregaron, Welsh-medium schools make up 100% of the total, above Wales’s schools (22%). 1 state-funded school is located in Tregaron’s built-up area, 1 of them teaching in Welsh. Wales doesn’t publish school-level results comparable with England’s Key Stage 2 and GCSE tables, so Welsh towns have no School Grade; Tregaron’s overall grade uses its other subjects.

Wales doesn’t publish school-level results
- Not published in Wales. England publishes each school’s Key Stage 2 and GCSE results; Wales publishes no school-level results tables comparable with them. Estyn inspects Welsh schools and publishes a report on each, without a one-word judgement. So we list Tregaron’s schools and leave the School Grade out, rather than grade Welsh towns on a different measure.
