Admissions to schools

Admission to Schools Booklets

In South Gloucestershire we are proud of the partnership that exists between parents/carers, school governors and the Department for Children and Young People. We hope you will find that the information and guidance you receive when selecting a school for your child demonstrates our complete commitment to providing the best possible education for the children and young people of South Gloucestershire. We feel it is important that parents and carers make an informed decision as to which school they would prefer their child(ren) to attend.

The information contained in the admission booklets and on this website is intended to help you in the initial stages of the process. However, there is no substitute for visiting any school that you are considering.  If you would like help or more information please see our page called 'Choice Advice Service'.

On-line admissions

The on-line admissions form for application to Infant, Junior, Primary and Secondary schools for the academic school year 2009/10 is available in the 'Do it now' section of this page. For help and information about the on-line application system please see the page below called 'On-line application FAQ's' and the on-line admissions guide in the 'Read more' section.

Paper admissions

To complete your application for an infant, junior, primary or secondary school place download the relevant admissions booklet from the 'Read more' section on this page and print out the application form at the back of the booklet.
