School admission arrangements 2027/2028

We are the admissions authority for community and controlled primary and secondary schools in South Gloucestershire.

We are required to consult if there are any proposed changes to admission arrangements, or every 7 years. We follow best practice and consult every year.

Consultation for admission arrangements

We are consulting on the admission arrangements for the academic year 2027/2028 and the relevant area boundaries for 2027/2028 and 2028/2029.

The consultation will run from 5 November to 17 December 2025.

There are no substantive changes to the oversubscription criteria, coordinated admission scheme or in-year admission arrangements.

Proposed changes to published admission number

The following schools have proposed a change to their published admission number from 1 September 2027:

• Barley Close Community Primary
• Manorbrook Primary
• Oldbury on Severn CE Primary
• St Anne’s CE Primary

Proposed relevant area boundaries

The relevant area describes the geographical area in which consultation on individual school admissions takes place.

It is proposed that the relevant area should continue to be the whole administrative area overseen by the council.
