We welcome admissions for other year group entry at any point in the academic year. It is not unusual for spaces to appear in years groups when people move away from the area unexpectedly. We also hold a waiting list for those year groups that are full. For all applications for year groups other than Reception Class, an Admissions Panel must be convened to consider the application.

Application Forms: All prospective parents should express a preference in writing, filling in the Ceredigion County Council online admissions application form and marking St Padarn’s as your first choice. Once we have received the county form, we will then sent out our school admissions form directly to your email address. The link to the Ceredigion County Council application form is available below.
