Primary Admissions
Who you should apply to
The entry of children into schools is
controlled and administered by an 'Admissions Authority'. In the
case of Community and Voluntary controlled schools this is the Vale
of Glamorgan Council (the Local Education Authority). In the case
of Voluntary Aided and Foundation Schools the admission Authority
is the Governing Body of the school.

Governing Body of the School
The following pages detail the
Council's admission arrangements. Where the appropriate Admissions
Authority is the Governing Body of a School, parents are advised to
contact the school direct for details and an application
form. Foundation and Roman Catholic Aided Schools are detailed
on our schools in the vale page.
Catchment areas
Within the Council, each school has an
area that it traditionally serves, called the Catchment Area. For
further information and details concerning school catchment areas
please contact the admissions section.
In line with current
legislation, parents are required to express a preference for
the school they wish their child to attend, even if it is their
catchment school. Pupils who reside within a defined catchment area
will therefore have no automatic right to attend that school unless
a preference is made. Failure to complete and return an application
form could lead, if demand exceeds the number of places available,
to some parents/carers being denied a place for their child at
their local/chosen school. It must be noted that catchment children
will always take priority over applications from outside the
catchment area.
