School Admission Arrangements for 2019/20 School Year

Overview

Bristol City Council is responsible for setting the admission arrangements for all Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in the city. This consultation includes the proposed new intake oversubscription criteria and co-ordinated admission schemes for the 2019/20 school year.

Also included in this consultation are the proposed arrangements for a number of 'own admission authority' schools - academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools.

If your chosen school is not listed here this may be because;

i) They use Bristol City Council's arrangements (see the admission arrangements appendix for a full list of relevant schools)

ii) They are running their own consultation

iii) Their admission arrangements are unchanged from previous years.  Therefore, they are not consulting this year. 

If you are uncertain, contact the school for more information.

Responses should be made by completing the Feedback form or by contacting the appropriate school representative, where stated.

[The document posted for Colston's Girls' School (Policy 2019-2020) Para 5.1 e) (ii) has been ammended to fully comply with the consultation on the school's website. 11th December 2017]

Why We Are Consulting

All admission authorities are required to consult on their proposed admission arrangements at least every 7 years or when changes are proposed and we would like to know your views.

What Happens Next

All responses will be considered before the arrangements are agreed. This will be by 28 February 2018 The arrangements will be published on the Bristol City Council and/or schools' websites by 15 March 2018.

Final arrangements, along with other information for parents and application forms will be published in September 2018.
