Alert Level 4: Lockdown from midnight 19th December

Services in Carmarthenshire will be affected during this time. We will not be updating our entire website. Go to the Newsroom for information on what is open, closed or where restrictions are in place.

We are here to support, you, your community, or your business. We will continue to update the Newsroom with the latest advice, local information and funding opportunities. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The Welsh Government website has information on what you can and cannot do.

We must all work together to keep Carmarthenshire safe and stop the spread of Covid-19 throughout our communities.
Stay home – stay safe.

Every school has a designated catchment area which it serves. If you live within the designated catchment area of a school then you will stand a better chance of your application to the school being successful. There is, however, no guarantee of a place.

Children who live within the catchment area of a school will also stand a better chance of qualifying for free transport to and from school.

You can choose to send your child to any school in the County but you may not be successful in getting a place. With the exception of nursery places for 3 year olds you do have the right to appeal if your application is refused.

When your child moves from primary to secondary school, your application for a school place and free school transport is based on your home address and not the primary school your child attended.
