Gwynedd School Catchment Areas

Gwynedd coordinates admissions across 29 primary and 1 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

Gwynedd, Pwllheli and Bangor host the biggest clusters — useful to know when a preferred school is oversubscribed, because the next-nearest alternative is often in a neighbouring town rather than the same catchment.

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