Admissions

If your child already attends a secondary school, but you would like them to move to a different one, you can apply to change schools (also known as an In-Year Transfer). To apply for an in-year transfer, you can do this via North Somerset Council School Admissions Team. The quickest and easiest way to apply for a school place is online and to do this you will need to set up an account on the North Somerset Council Citizens Portal, their online admissions system. Depending on what you have stated as communication preference, North Somerset Council School Admissions will either email you or post a letter to let you know the outcome of your application. If you are happy with your allocated school place, you will need to accept it - online applicants can email their response. Paper applicants can fill in the response form, which will be included in your outcome letter, and post it back to the North Somerset Council School Admissions Team, or email them the response.

If you do not get the school place you want, you can be put on a waiting list for your preferred school(s) and you can appeal. Information on how to do this will be included in your application outcome.
