Cyngor Gwynedd prints ONE oversubscription list covering both of its voluntary aided schools, Ysgol Ein Harglwyddes and Ysgol Santes Helen, under the heading 'What are the over subscription criteria of the Voluntary Aided Schools?'. The parish boundaries named in criterion 2 differ per school; a map is available at the school and/or on the school website. Where a voluntary aided governing body cannot offer a place in the normal admissions round the child's name is kept on a waiting list until 30 September.

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.
