School Admissions and Changing Schools
We only accept applications for schools in Carmarthenshire. If you are applying for a school in another County, please contact them directly.
Please remember that even if you have spoken to a school and they have said there are places available, until you’ve made an application and had confirmation from us that your child has been accepted, they cannot start school.
