This consultation has now concluded.

Why are schools consulting?


School Admission Arrangements

Admission Arrangements outline how school places will be allocated at each school setting. This includes the school’s over-subscription criteria which is used when schools receive more applications than places available.

Admission arrangements must be consulted on if there are any proposed changes or at least every 7 years if no changes are planned.

For all community and voluntary controlled schools arrangements are determined by the Local Authority. We are consulting on the proposed arrangements for all Bristol community and voluntary controlled primary schools and the admission arrangements or selected Bristol infant to junior school transfers for 2024/2025. For more information on this, please visit our consultation page.

For all other schools this is the responsibility of the individual school or academy trust. Here is a compiled list of Bristol academies who are currently consulting. Please see the school’s website for more information and where to send your feedback.
