The information within these pages covers all aspects of school admissions within South Gloucestershire and includes transport to schools, term dates, school meals, curriculum support, school performance, school planning, health and safety in schools, ICT and the financing of schools.
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'.
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.
Please only submit either an on-line application or a paper application not both.
DCSF Consultation on School Admissions
In the Government's Children’s Plan published December 2007, Ministers committed to review the school application and allocation process. The DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) recently launched a consultation which outlines proposed changes to make the admissions process for parents as fair, transparent and straightforward as possible and would welcome your views on the proposed changes. The consultation runs for 16 weeks and can be found using the link under "Other Websites" on this page.
