When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Where there are more applications than places remaining within a particular category, the direct line distance from home to school is used as the tie-break. Where two or more children live in a flat or other multi-home dwelling and it is not possible to determine which lives closest, the place is allocated by drawing lots, overseen by a member of staff from Bristol City Council Legal Services.
Bristol City Council is the admission authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in the city; academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools set their own arrangements. Distances are measured in a direct line from the home address point held in the Local Land and Property Gazetteer to a defined point within the main school building. Bristol has no catchment areas for primary schools — after looked-after children and siblings, places are decided purely on distance.
Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
