School Admissions

School admissions – apply online now

PARENTS across Carmarthenshire are being reminded that they need to apply online for their child’s school place.

Pupils due to start in secondary school next September need to apply for their place by December 22.

There is no automatic transfer, applications must be made to the county council by the deadline, and parents will be informed of the outcome on March 1.

For children due to start in nursery or primary school the deadline for applications is January 31 2018.

If a child was born between September 1 2014 and August 31 2015, they could start full time school in September 2018, or January/April 2019.

Children who were born between September 1 2015 and August 31 2016, could start school part time in January, April or September 2019.

Parents must apply online for nursery or primary places, they will be informed of the outcome of the primary application on April 16, and nursery applications in October.

Applications can be made at www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/schooladmissions

Applications can also be made on a phone or tablet, or for those without internet access they can contact their local school who will be happy to assist, or visit their local library to use the computers available there.

Education executive board member Cllr Glynog Davies said: “Although parental choice will always be a consideration, no child can be guaranteed a place at the school of their choice.

“However it is essential that applications are made before the deadline in order for their wishes to be considered.

“Applications are now made online for secondary, primary and nursery school places. There is no need for children born after August last year to apply yet, they would not be dealt with before the appropriate time.

“I would urge parents to get their application forms in by the deadline in order to ensure their wishes are considered when school places are allocated.”

Derbyn i ysgolion – gwnewch gais ar-lein nawr

Atgoffir rhieni yn Sir Gaerfyrddin bod angen iddynt wneud cais ar-lein am le mewn ysgol ar gyfer eu plentyn.

Mae angen gwneud cais erbyn 22 Rhagfyr ar gyfer disgyblion sy’n dechrau ysgol uwchradd ym mis Medi 2018.

Ni fydd unrhyw drosglwyddo awtomatig, rhaid i’r ceisiadau gael eu cyflwyno i’r Cyngor Sir erbyn y dyddiad cau, a rhoddir gwybod i rieni am y canlyniad erbyn 1 Mawrth.

Y dyddiad cau i gyflwyno ceisiadau ar gyfer plant sydd fod dechrau ysgol feithrin neu ysgol gynradd yw 31 Ionawr 2018.

Os ganed plentyn rhwng 1 Medi 2014 a 31 Awst 2015, gallai ddechrau ysgol llawn amser ym mis Medi 2018 neu ym mis Ionawr/Ebrill 2019.

Gallai plentyn a anwyd rhwng 1 Medi 2015 a 31 Awst 2016 ddechrau ysgol rhan amser ym mis Ionawr, Ebrill neu fis Medi 2019.

Rhaid i rieni gyflwyno cais ar-lein i gael lle mewn ysgol feithrin neu gynradd, a rhoddir gwybod iddynt am ganlyniad y ceisiadau cynradd ar 16 Ebrill, ac am y ceisiadau meithrin ym mis Hydref.

Gellir cyflwyno cais yn http://www.sirgar.llyw.cymru/cartref/derbyn-i-ysgolion

Gellir cyflwyno ceisiadau hefyd drwy ddefnyddio ffôn neu lechen, neu gall pobl nad oes ganddynt fynediad i’r rhyngrwyd gysylltu â’u hysgol leol a fydd yn hapus i’w helpu, neu ymweld â’u llyfrgell leol i ddefnyddio’r cyfrifiaduron sydd ar gael yno.

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Glynog Davies, yr Aelod o’r Bwrdd Gweithredol dros Addysg: “Er bod ystyriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i ddymuniadau’r rhieni bob tro, ni ellir gwarantu lle ar gyfer unrhyw blentyn yn yr ysgol o’u dewis.

“Fodd bynnag, mae’n hanfodol bod yr holl geisiadau yn cael eu cyflwyno cyn y dyddiad cau er mwyn ystyried eu dymuniadau.

“Gwneir ceisiadau ar-lein bellach ar gyfer lleoedd mewn ysgolion meithrin, cynradd ac uwchradd. Nid oes angen i blant a anwyd ar ôl mis Awst y flwyddyn ddiwethaf gyflwyno cais eto. Ni fyddant yn cael eu hystyried tan yr adeg briodol.

“Rwy’n annog rhieni i gyflwyno eu ceisiadau cyn y dyddiad cau er mwyn sicrhau bod eu dymuniadau’n cael eu hystyried pan fydd y lleoedd mewn ysgolion yn cael eu dyrannu.”
