Admissions

Under normal circumstances, pupils from the Primary Schools listed below will transfer at 11+ to Ysgol Dyffryn Aman:

Ysgol Bro Banw, Ysgol Y Bedol, Ysgol Gymraeg Rhydaman, Llanedi, Betws, Parcyrhun, Brynaman, Saron and Tycroes.  

In recent years the catchment area of Ysgol Dyffryn Aman has been extended to include the catchment area of:

Cefneithin, Cross Hands, Llechyfedach, Llannon, Tumble, Drefach, Pontyberem, Bancffosfelen, Gwynfryn, Ponthenri, Pontiets and Carway Primary Schools, for those seeking Bilingual Catergory 2B education. 

However, Carmarthenshire’s School Admission Policy is based on the pupil’s home address and not the primary school attended. The admissions department can be contacted by phone on 01267 234567 where you will be directed to the Contact Centre or you can contact them by email: admissions@carmarthenshire.gov.uk

The admission limit for the School is 260. We also have a number of preferred placements from other schools. 

Parents/Guardians of pupils who are considering entering Ysgol Dyffryn Aman are invited to attend Open Evenings during October. Pupils who will enter the school in September will visit the school towards the end of the Summer Term in Year 6 for Induction days.

For Years 7 – 11, admissions are dealt with by the Admissions Department at Carmarthenshire County Council.
