Schools in Cardiff
Cardiff's 124 schools span every phase from nursery through to sixth form, making it the largest concentration of state schools in Wales. Admissions are coordinated by Cardiff Council, which publishes catchment boundaries and oversubscription criteria each September for the following academic year.
Because Cardiff is a bilingual city, many schools offer Welsh-medium education alongside English-medium provision - and catchment areas for Welsh-medium schools are typically wider to reflect lower pupil density. Check each school's admissions policy carefully, as Welsh-medium and English-medium catchments rarely overlap.
