Parents/guardians of Year 6 pupils in Pembrokeshire are invited to apply for a secondary school place for September 2026 by the closing date of 21 December 2025.
Applications received after this date will be considered late which may have a bearing on whether your child gets a place at their preferred school.
There is no automatic admission to a secondary school (except for 3-16 schools – see below), even if you are living in catchment and/or your child attends a feeder school, an application must be made.
It is important to note that a school place will not be allocated unless a formal application is received.
Parents of pupils in Year 6 at Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi, Ysgol Bro Preseli or Ysgol Caer Elen do not need to apply as they are attending 3 to 16 schools and it is assumed they will remain in their current schools. However, if parents wish to apply for a different secondary school they should apply by the deadline noted above.
The online application form can be found on the Pembrokeshire County Council website: www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/schools-and-learning under ‘Apply for a School Place’.
Parents/guardians will be informed of the allocation of places on the common offer date of 2 March 2026.
