About schools in Wales
UKTeachingJobs covers 1,543 schools across Wales's 22 local authorities — primary, secondary and special schools (around 1,192 primary and 173 secondary). Each profile brings together pupil numbers, the school's Welsh-medium language category, and its local authority.
Wales has Welsh-medium, English-medium, dual-stream and bilingual schools. We show each school's official language category, so you can find the setting that's right for you — whether you teach through the medium of Welsh or English.
Schools in Wales are inspected by Estyn (His Majesty's Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales), not Ofsted — so you won't find Ofsted-style single-word grades here. We link to Estyn reports where available.
Information is drawn from the Welsh Government's published schools data, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Always confirm details with the school.
