Schools in Denbighshire

Denbighshire's 36 schools span English-medium and Welsh-medium provision across a largely rural county stretching from Rhyl on the north Wales coast inland to Ruthin and Llangollen. The county council administers admissions for community schools, while other governing bodies handle faith and voluntary-aided settings independently.

Parents applying to Denbighshire schools should note that Welsh-medium schools use separate catchment boundaries from their English-medium counterparts even within the same town. Catchment maps and the annual 'last distance offered' figures are published each autumn by Denbighshire County Council's school admissions team ahead of the January deadline.
