Schooling and Education Every parent wants the best for their children. Ensuring that your children get a good education is paramount. Schools in Wales lists all the local authority schools in Wales and provides you with the first step in finding a good school for your children. An alternative place to start your search would be the Good Schools Guide which also includes independent schools in the private sector. You would also need to assess and compare the schools for many factors. The Government has produced a helpful guide to Choosing a School. It will help you to understand the differences between the types of schools, find and research schools in your area, apply for places at your selected schools and how to appeal if your application wasn't successful. Welsh Schools Inspection Reports produced by Estyn (Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales)would help you choose between the schools in Wales. Non compulsory or post-16 education and training opportunities are very good in Wales and particularly South Wales. Education and Learning Wales (ELWa) encourages young people and adults to continue lifelong learning. ELWa also encourages employers to be involved and subsidise lifelong skills learning and training.

Useful Information
Post Code Finder is free and NO SIGNUP. You have 10 free searches a day. We find this site is so much easier and to use than the Royal Mail's and yet it uses the Royal Mail information. So if you find an easier to use one, let us know! We regularly use this great Time Savers!
Council Tax Valuation List is useful to find the band that your property is in. Then you have to find out from your Council Offices what that band is chargeable for. Another good use is that you can use it to find out postcodes. If you have the first part of the postcode, it can be useful. Otherewise you need the name of the billing authority in which the property is situated. Then put in the number or name of the building, street and town in the respective fields. You may then get a display of the properties in the street with their postcodes.
Cardiff County Council like them or loathe them. The Council provides many of the local services that residents rely on. This site is very useful to find out about the services and can be intimidating to use.
Refuse Collection Days One of the things that residents must know! At the Home Page, Click on "Environment" in Site Sections. Click on "Waste & Recycling" then click on "Waste Collection & Recycling Schedule". An Waste.PDF Document should be available for downloading which gives the waste recycling and collection schedules for the various wards of Cardiff.
Put your waste out for collection no earlier than 7pm on the day before your collection. If you miss the collection, TAKE the waste OFF THE STREET. You could get fined up to 70 pounds if you have left rubbish out on the street on non-collection days.
Remember! There are special arrangements for rubbish collections in the week that has a bank holiday in it. The Council normally drops flyers through the doors and you can check online for the arrangements.
