Things to know before you apply for September 2027
- The distance cut-off grew from 404 m (0.25 miles) in 2025 to 429 m (0.27 miles) in 2026.
- Sibling priority: the council's 2023-24 policy limited it to families within 800 m (with exceptions); the proposed 2027-28 policy has no distance limit, which could mean more sibling places.

How many applications does Allfarthing Primary School get?
In 2026, Allfarthing Primary School received 248 applications for 60 Reception places: about 4.1 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.
What are my chances of getting into Allfarthing Primary School?
It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Allfarthing Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 404 m (0.25 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 590 m (0.37 miles) away, in none of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.
Is Allfarthing Primary School oversubscribed?
Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 429 m (0.27 miles) away. It had 248 applications for 60 places, counting every preference families named.
Is Allfarthing Primary School’s catchment getting smaller?
Allfarthing Primary School has no fixed catchment area: places on distance go to the families living closest, so the cut-off moves each year. The distance cut-off grew from 404 m (0.25 miles) in 2025 to 429 m (0.27 miles) in 2026. It depends on how many families apply and how many places go to siblings, so one year’s change doesn’t say what happens next.
