Powys County Council has opened applications for children starting primary school in September 2026.

Parents or carers have until Thursday, January 15 2026 to complete their application.

Cllr James Gibson-Watt, 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 primary school in September 2026.”

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

Parents/carers need to complete an online application at: https://en.powys.gov.uk/article/1158/Applying-for-a-School-Place before the deadline.

If you are unable to apply online, the council urges you to email: [email protected]
