All Saints C.I.W. Primary School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after children / statemented children — Children who are “looked after” by a local authority, and/or has a statement issued by the local authority, must be admitted to the school.
2. 2Practising Church in Wales Anglicans in the Cyncoed ministry area — Children who, with their parent(s) or guardian(s), are practising Church in Wales Anglicans living within the Cyncoed ministry area and attend church weekly, or fortnightly for at least two years.
3. 3Practising Church in Wales Anglicans in the Monmouth or Llandaff diocese — Children who, with their parent(s) or guardian(s), are practising Church in Wales Anglicans living within the Monmouth or Llandaff diocese area, and attend church weekly, or fortnightly for at least two years.
4. 4Attendance at a Cytun / Evangelical Alliance member church — Children who, with their parent(s) or guardian(s), are in weekly or fortnightly attendance of Churches, that are members of Churches together in Wales (Cytun) (Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) if recently moved to Wales) or The Evangelical Alliance or children who attend churches that are members of Churches together in Wales (Cytun) (Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) if recently moved to Wales) or The Evangelical Alliance alone or in the company of other practicing worshippers and have done so for at least two years prior to the closing date for applications. This includes Presbyterian Church of Wales; the Chinese Christian Church; the Union of Welsh Independent Churches; Baptist Union of Wales; the Methodist Church; the United Reformed Church; Covenanted Baptist Churches; the Salvation Army; the Roman Catholic; the Congregational Federation of Churches; Religious Society of Friends and Orthodox Church. Churches must be members of Cytun or The Evangelical Alliance as at the closing date for applications to the School, and attend church weekly, or fortnightly for at least two years.
5. 5Siblings — Children who have a brother or sister, including step-brother/step-sister living in the same house, attending the school at the time they would be admitted were their application to be successful.
6. 6Other Christian denominations or World Faiths in communion with the Church in Wales — Children who, with their parent(s) or guardian(s), are in weekly/fortnightly attendance of any Christian denomination, or other World Faith, that does not fall into categories 1 to 4 above and where the denomination is in communion with the Church in Wales and whose long term participation can be substantiated by a senior representative of that faith organization, and whose families wish their child to be educated in a Church in Wales School.
7. 7Residence in the Cyncoed ministry area — Children living with parent(s) or guardian(s) within the Cyncoed ministry area.
8. 8Any other applicants — Children whose parent(s) or guardian(s) are applying for admission for other reasons.

If two applications tie: Where the Admissions Committee is unable to offer a place for all children within any category because the admission number would be exceeded, places are allocated in this priority: first, children who have a brother or sister (including step-brother/step-sister living in the same house) attending the school at the time they would be admitted were their application to be successful; then those who live nearest to the school. Proximity is measured by the shortest walking distance from the school postcode to the home postcode as measured by RAC Route Planner (Walking), using All Saints' own main postcode as printed in the policy (CF23 79LF as printed; the school's registered postcode is CF23 9LF). Where parents do not live at the same address, the 'home address' is the address where the child spends the majority of the school week (at least 3 evenings/nights, Sunday to Thursday) during term time.

All Saints and St David's Church in Wales Primary Schools form The Saints' Federation and are governed by ONE printed admissions policy. That policy prints the eight ordered oversubscription categories once; All Saints' own section of the policy directs the reader to them (“Places will be offered to those in Category 1, any remaining places to those in Category 2, then Category 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and then finally to any other applicants in Category 8”) but does not reprint the list. The categories recorded here are that single printed list, verbatim. All Saints' planned admission number is 30. The proximity tie-break uses each school's own postcode, so All Saints' measure differs from St David's. The Governing Body reserves the right to depart from these criteria if there is compelling evidence that the welfare of a child will be seriously prejudiced if the child is not admitted.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
