A Co-ordinated School Admission Arrangements Scheme will be implemented for Reception and Year 7 September 2027. The co-ordinated arrangements will apply to all Swansea community-maintained schools and to the following Swansea VA schools:

• Bishop Vaughan Catholic Comprehensive
• Christchurch Church in Wales Primary
• St David's RC Primary
• St Illtyd's RC Primary
• St Joseph's Cathedral Primary
• St Joseph's Catholic Primary

Parents / carers will be able to complete a single application (the 'common application form'), and to express a preference for up to 3 Swansea schools of their choosing and ranked in order of their preference. The form will be available to parents / carers via an online system (or a paper copy on request).

There will be a national deadline by which completed applications (paper or online) must be received by Swansea Council. Applications submitted by this date will be classed as 'on-time' applications:

Year 7 - 31 October 2026
Reception - 15 January 2027

Late applications

Applications submitted after the published closing date will not be considered until after all on time applications received have been allocated and offered their places on the common offer day.

Right of appeal

Where an application has been refused parents / carers will be informed in writing that they have the right of appeal to an independent appeal panel. The correspondence will include information on how to appeal.
