Joining Our School

Every effort is made to ensure a child’s first experiences of school life are positive and welcoming. Once your child reaches 3 years of age, we begin the admission process whereby children have a staggered start, gradually building up to a full day. All parents/carers are invited to visit when school procedures and expectations are explained, with plenty of opportunities for you to view the classroom, its resources, equipment and discuss any issues which you feel are important with the class teacher.

For parents wishing to start their child in Nursery and Reception here at Cwmbach Community School you will need to submit an application via the local authority website here. Applications are open between May and October for the following year admissions. Outside of this window please contact the school directly.

For children wishing to join us at a later stage in their Primary Education eg after moving into the area, we will extend a warm and friendly welcome and make their entry into the school a pleasant experience, please contact the school office in the first instance on 01685 876115. We are able to offer you a tour of the school site and talk you through the transfer process to make the transition as smooth as possible for your child.

The Governing Body has adopted the Admissions Policy of the Local Authority. We are an inclusive school that welcomes children from all backgrounds and abilities. It is our wish to allow parents the right to have a place at the school of their choice where this is possible. The only restriction we place on entry to the school is when the number of children applying for entry exceeds the places available.

If you are considering sending your child to our school, we look forward to extending a very warm welcome to you.
