Admissions

This covers entrance to all community and voluntary controlled schools and we also assist with admissions to Foundation and Trust Schools and to many of the voluntary aided schools.

We aim to allocate places accurately and efficiently whilst satisfying, where possible, parents' school preferences.

If you wish to apply for a 2009-10 school place, please read one of the following guides which provide helpful advice on the processes involved:

• Starting School in North Somerset 2009/10
• Transfer to Junior School in North Somerset 2009/10
• Transfer to Secondary School in North Somerset 2009/10

Please visit our Online Admissions Service to apply for a place for the 2009-10 school year.

Alternatively you can apply for places by downloading or requesting a paper copy of the relevant parents guide.
An application form is contained within each guide.

For more information and help about the secondary transfer process please visit our Transition advice page.

To apply for an In-Year place during the 2008/09 school year, please visit our Changing Schools page for more information.

The overall admission process is co-ordinated in consultation with schools, governors, the North Somerset Admissions Forum and other interested parties.
