Almost all schools in North Somerset are Own Admission Authority Schools, such as Academy’s. These are run by the school’s governing body or Multi Academy Trust (MAT) and not the council. This includes the responsibility for school admissions.
We currently assist schools with admissions services. What they require from us may vary.
For example:
- some schools require the application to be made directly to the school and the school processes it themselves
- some schools require the application to be made to us and the school makes the decision to offer or refuse a place
- some schools require the application to be made to us and we make the admissions decision on their behalf
Applications for the following schools must be made directly to the school. Details of how to do this will be on the school’s website.
Primary schools
Secondary schools
Applications for mainstream schools within North Somerset that are not mentioned above can be submitted to us. Please use the below online application service or paper application form.
Either we or the school will make the decision to offer or refuse a place, depending on what the school has delegated to us.
If the school makes their own decision, we will coordinate this and let you know the outcome.
