In 2026, everyone who named E-ACT Bristol Academy South was offered a place (DfE). Offers can change from year to year.
Priority order when there are more applications than places, 2027-28 (Reception):
If two applications tie: If the criteria cannot separate applications, the child living nearest the school by the local authority's distance method comes first; if applicants live the same distance away, random allocation decides, under independent supervision.
This is E-ACT's own determined admissions policy for the academy, as the academy's website publishes it. E-ACT does not measure distance itself: the policy uses the method the local authority where the school is uses for admissions, so here that is Bristol City Council's straight-line measurement. Every child whose EHCP names the school is admitted first, before other places are given.
Published by the admission authority. A criterion sets the order places are offered in and never guarantees a place.

When E-ACT Bristol Academy South has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked-after and previously looked-after children applying for a place (highest priority) — Looked-after children and every previously looked-after child applying for a place at the school have the highest priority; 2. Children with siblings on the school roll when the new pupil joins (next in priority) — Next, children who will have siblings on the school roll when the new pupil joins the school; 3. Children of E-ACT staff (teaching and non-teaching) whose contracted workplace is the Academy — Next, children whose parent/carer works for E-ACT (teaching and non-teaching staff), with the Academy named as the place of employment in their contract, and who either: a) has worked at the school for 2 or more years when the application for admission to the school is made; or b) was recruited to a vacant post with a demonstrable skill shortage. Applications under this criterion need a Supplementary Information Form (SIF), filled in and sent by the published deadline, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If the criteria cannot separate applications, the child living nearest the school by the local authority's distance method comes first; if applicants live the same distance away, random allocation decides, under independent supervision.
