Primary school applications open

Applications are now open for children starting primary school in September 2026, Powys County Council has said.

Parents or carers have until Thursday, January 15, 2026, to complete their application.

Cllr James Gibson-Watt, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said: “All parents/carers are encouraged to complete this application as soon as possible for a place in a primary school in September 2026.

“If it is not completed in time, then this has the potential to jeopardise their child’s place at their preferred school.”

Parents/Carers need to complete an online application at https://en.powys.gov.uk/article/1158/Applying-for-a-School-Place.
