Powys School Catchment Areas

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Powys coordinates admissions across 4 primary and 7 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

Powys, Salop and Brecon 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 Powys are coordinated by the council — catchment area and sibling priority are the most common tiebreakers when schools are oversubscribed.
