About Gwyn Jones Primary School

Parents at Gwyn Jones Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 87% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 54 responses and showed particularly strong satisfaction with the school's extracurricular offer: 78% of parents strongly agreed that their child can take part in clubs and activities, and 67% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school. The school is also clearly popular on the ground. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Gwyn Jones received 205 applications for just 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.47 to one. Of the 70 families who put it as their first preference, 57 were offered a place, so getting in is competitive but far from impossible for those who prioritise it. The school is led by headteacher Sian Boutalbi and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site.
