Within the County Borough, each school has an area that it traditionally serves called the “catchment area”. In line with legislation, LA’s must allow all parents the opportunity to express a preference for the school they wish their child to attend. Pupils who reside within a defined catchment area of a school do not have an automatic right to attend that school. A written application must be made and the placements will be allocated in accordance with the LA’s admissions procedure. ## Apply for a place at a school The normal ages for admission to CCBC schools are:- - Age 3/4 in Nursery - Age 4/5 in Infant and Primary Schools ### Closing dates for school admission applications Please complete and submit your school application forms by the dates below. - Nursery 28th February 2020 - Reception 16th December 2019 There is no closing date for the In year transfer forms. **[Apply for a place at a school online](http://www.caerphilly.gov.uk/Services/Schools-and-learning/Admissions-and-appeals/Primary-and-secondary-school-admissions) (Caerphilly CBC website)** ##### Location Maes-y-Garn Road Oakdale NP12 0NA ##### Contact Us 01495 222829 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/RhiwSyrDafydd) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_q83wvczZ0YwqDbxmnLigg) © Copyright 2017–2026 Rhiw Syr Dafydd Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://rhiwsyrdafyddschool.wales/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
