Applications are now open for children starting secondary school in September 2023.

Parents or carers of children who are now in Year Six have until Friday, November 11 2022 to complete their application, Powys County Council has said.

Cllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said: “All parents/carers are encouraged to complete this application as soon as possible for a place in a secondary school in September 2023.

“If it is not completed in time, then this has the potential to jeopardise their child’s place at their preferred school.”

Parents/Carers need to complete an online application at Applying for a School Place by November 11 this year.

If you don’t live near a school, your children may be eligible for free transport. The criteria are different for different types of school, so please check carefully to see if you qualify by checking the Council’s Home to School Transport Policy which can be found at Apply for school transport.
