Following careful consideration of the comments received, the following amendments will be made:
Reintegrate the hamlet of Cwmdu into the Llangynidr CP School catchment area
Amend the Ysgol Pennant catchment area to include Ddôl Cownwy
In addition, the use of the word 'catchment' has been regularised in the over subscription criteria.
Should you wish to object to the determination of the admission arrangements for 2025-26 then you must do so in writing to the Welsh Ministers within six weeks of the publication of this notice, which is 25 April 2024.

The consultation also includes the catchment maps, which were endorsed by the council's Cabinet in 2023. These maps are used by the council when allocating places to a school which is oversubscribed. The council will also use these maps when considering applications under the home to school transport policy.
Primary catchments: The catchment maps are based on nearest primary school with some adjustments made to reflect local circumstances such as mountains or rivers.
Secondary catchments: Secondary catchments are based on the collective catchments of group of primary schools
