Admission policy

In Powys, children may enter full time education at the beginning of the term after they have their fourth birthday.  Compulsory full-time education begins when a child is five years old.

Prospective parents are invited to contact the school to arrange a visit during school hours, not only to see the Headteacher and staff, but also to sample the working atmosphere of the school.  Parents are taken around the school and given an outline of the school’s aims and objectives.  They are encouraged to ask any questions appertaining to the school.

Where schools are oversubscribed, the LEA has adopted, in order of priority, the following criteria:

the presence of an elder brother/sister in the school (when the home remains in the catchment area of the school which applied in the year the elder child was first admitted)
the location of the home in relation to the school and alternative schools
any special medical and social needs relating to the individual child
the presence of a brother/sister at the school when the family home is NOT in the original or current catchment area for the school
