Schools in Hengoed
Hengoed is a village in the south of Caerphilly County Borough, a former coal-mining area of south Wales. The 7 schools in this area are administered by Caerphilly County Borough Council (Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Caerffili), which coordinates both Welsh-medium and English-medium admissions under the Welsh Government's admissions framework.
Secondary education in the Hengoed area is served by schools including Lewis Girls' Comprehensive School and Lewis School Pengam, both of which draw from across the Rhymney and Sirhowy valleys. Pupils attending Welsh-medium secondary school may need to travel further, as Welsh-medium secondary provision is centralised.
For catchment maps and the 2026 application round, contact Caerphilly County Borough Council's Education Department. Faith school applicants should note that voluntary-aided schools in the borough set their own admissions criteria.
