How school places work in Cribyn

Ceredigion Council handles school applications for families in Cribyn. You apply to the council where you live, even for a school in another area.

Starting school or moving to secondaryApply to Ceredigion Council. Each Welsh council sets its own closing dates, usually in the autumn or winter before a September start.

Moving mid-yearAsk the council for an in-year place; it tells you which schools have room.

When a school is full

How to read these numbers

Wales doesn’t publish school-level results

  • Not published in Wales. England publishes each school’s Key Stage 2 and GCSE results; Wales publishes no school-level results tables comparable with them. Estyn inspects Welsh schools and publishes a report on each, without a one-word judgement. So we list Cribyn’s schools and leave the School Grade out, rather than grade Welsh towns on a different measure.
  • Estyn. Each school’s latest inspection report is on Estyn’s website: search by the school’s name. estyn.gov.wales ↗
