The school is categorised linguistically by the Welsh Government as a category 2A school, meaning that at least 80 per cent of subjects apart from English and Welsh are taught only through the medium of Welsh to all pupils. However, one or two subjects are taught to some pupils in English or in both languages. According to the latest Estyn inspection report conducted in 2018, 69% of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes. == Recent Head-teachers ==
