If you don't live near a school, your children may be eligible for free transport.

Cllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said:

"All parents/carers are encouraged to complete this application as soon as possible for a place in a primary or junior school in September 2023.

"If it is not completed in time, then this has the potential to jeopardise their child's place at their preferred school."
