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 2021/22 school year.
Reduced Pupil Admission Numbers (PAN)
Projected number of pupils in some areas in Bristol is falling. To ensure there is not over significant over-provision we are proposing a reduction to some school PANs. Reductions will be managed to ensure there are still sufficient places in the city.
We will plan to reduce PANs for the following schools:
Responses should be made by completing the survey or returning a completed feedback form, found below.
Other Admission Authorities in Bristol
A number of 'own admission authority' schools including - academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools are also in the process of reviewing and consulting on their admission arrangements. We have set up a seperate consultation page for these schools:

If your chosen school is not listed here this may be because;
i) They do not use Bristol City Council's arrangements (see the Reception Admission Arrangements 2021 2022 appendix for a full list of relevant schools)
ii) They are running their own consultation. Links to these schools may be listed on Admission Arrangements For Schools Not Maintained by the Local Authority 2021 2022 via the link.
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.
All admission authorities are required to consult on their proposed admission arrangements at least every 7 years or when changes are proposed.
We would like to know your views.
