Ysgol Mynydd Isa is a predominantly English medium County Primary School. This means that all pupils in the Foundation Phase and KS2 experience the areas of learning mainly through the medium of English. Welsh is taught as a second language. English is the language of the day-to-day business of the school, but some Welsh is also used as a language of communication with the pupils to improve their capacity to use everyday Welsh. The school communicates with parents either in English or in both languages.
Most pupils come from the surrounding locality, which is described as neither prosperous nor economically disadvantaged. About 8% of pupils are entitled to free school meals, which is much lower than the Flintshire and all-Wales average. The school currently has 580 pupils between the ages of three and 11. This figure includes 67 pupils who attend the nursery part-time. There are 23 classes, including two specialist language resource classes, which the local authority funds separately. Eighteen pupils from across Flintshire attend these classes, all of whom have statements of special educational needs for specific language and speech disorders. Around 16% of pupils have additional learning needs, which is below the national average. The school is rated as Good by Estyn and is a ‘Green’ category school in the Wales Categorisation.
