Blaenau Gwent School Catchment Areas

Blaenau Gwent is a compact authority with 23 schools — 11 primary and 0 secondary — meaning most families have a limited number of realistic options within a reasonable distance.

School density is highest in Blaenau Gwent and Ebbw Vale — parents in other parts of Blaenau Gwent should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.

Admissions to all schools in Blaenau Gwent are coordinated by the council — catchment area and sibling priority are the most common tiebreakers when schools are oversubscribed.
