Admissions

Please note that attendance of pupils at the feeder Primary School does not provide automatic entry to the chosen Secondary School.

All parents are required to complete admission forms at the appropriate time. Places will then be allocated in accordance with the Authority’s Admission Criteria as the school your child currently attends may not be their relevant catchment school.

Abercarn Primary's catchment secondary school is Newbridge School.
