Tredegarville 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. 1Anglican Church attendance (Cardiff resident) — Children residing in Cardiff who attend an Anglican Church as substantiated by a reference from a vicar/priest.
2. 2Other Christian denomination attendance (Cardiff resident) — Children residing in Cardiff who attend a church of another Christian denomination, as substantiated by a reference from a vicar/priest.
3. 3Siblings — Children who already have a brother or sister at the school and whose brother/sister will be a registered pupil when the new pupil is admitted (this includes full, half or step brothers/sisters, adopted or fostered who are living in the same house).
4. 4Proximity — Children who live closest to the school, measured as the safest walking route, as advised by Cardiff Council. In the case of children living in flats, the route assessment is determined from the front entrance to each flat.

The Governing Body has a duty to prioritise admissions of children who are looked after by the Local Authority (as defined by Section 22 of the Children Act 1989) or previously looked after children (as defined by the Welsh Government School Admissions Code). There is also a duty to prioritise the admission of children with a Statement of Special Educational Need/Individual Development Plan where the school has been named, or children allocated nursery funding by the Early Years Assessment Panel or Case Advisory Panel (see WG guidance). Priority may also be given to children where there are compelling medical or social grounds as supported by documentary evidence from a medical consultant or social worker. Within each admissions category priority is given to children of multiple births who meet the admissions criteria. Parents whose applications have been unsuccessful have the right to appeal by completing an appeal form and sending it to the Chair of Governors within 15 days of receiving notification of an unsuccessful application; appeals are considered by an independent panel administered by the Llandaff Diocesan Board of Education. There is no appeal process for nursery applications. Unsuccessful children are placed on a waiting list, which does not give priority based on date of application and remains in operation until the end of the academic year within which the application was made or until the place is no longer required.

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.
