Over 1,000 pupils haven't applied for high school

Parents and carers of children that will start high school in September 2021 have less than two weeks to submit their application, Powys County Council has said.

The council said it has not received applications for over 1,000 learners that are in their last year of primary school.

With the closing date for applications on November 13, the council is urging parents and carers to submit their child’s application as soon as possible.

Cllr Phyl Davies, Cabinet Member for Education, said: “All parents/carers should complete this application as soon as possible for a place in a secondary school in September 2021.

“If it is not completed in time, then this may risk their child’s place at their preferred school.”

Parents/carers need to complete an online application at https://en.powys.gov.uk/article/1161/Apply-for-a-Secondary-School-Place.
