Do schools in Aberdare have catchment areas?
In Wales each school has a catchment area, published by Rhondda Cynon Taf on its website. Living in it normally gives priority, but not a guaranteed place when a school is oversubscribed.
How do I apply for a school place in Aberdare?
Apply to Rhondda Cynon Taf for the schools you want. Welsh admission deadlines are set by each local authority rather than nationally, so check Rhondda Cynon Taf's admissions pages for this year's closing date.
