Frequently asked questions
How many schools are there in Newtown?
The Welsh Government's official address list of schools lists 10 open schools with a Newtown address (as of 14 June 2026), including 6 primary and 1 secondary schools. Schools open, close and convert over time, so always check the official record for the latest position.
Does living in Newtown guarantee a place at these schools?
No. Each school's admissions are governed by its own policy and the local authority's coordinated process. Distance is often a tie-breaker behind criteria like siblings, faith and catchment, so being nearby helps but never guarantees a place. Always check the school's current admissions policy and last year's cut-off distance.
Where does this list come from?
Every school on this page comes from the Welsh Government's official address list of schools, retrieved on 14 June 2026. Each name links to the school's official record, which is the place to verify details before relying on them.
How do I check the distance from a home to a school in Newtown?
Use our free Find Schools Near a Postcode tool to see every school within a chosen radius of a postcode, or the School Distance Calculator to measure a specific home-to-school distance. Both use straight-line distance, which is a planning aid — local authorities may measure differently for admissions.
