Starting mid-year
Please be aware that there are very few places available in our school; our staffing structure is built around 150 students in each year group.
We currently have limited spaces in some year groups. If you are enquiring about a place mid-year, please do contact us and we will be able to advise whether any places have recently become available. For applications, or to be placed on a waiting list, please click here to register on our admissions system Applicaa, where you can complete an Admissions Enquiry Form.

Admissions to our Resource Base
The school has a resource base for a limited number of students with a diagnosis of autism spectrum condition. The South Gloucestershire 0-25 Team will place students in the resource base following a consultation process, where it is deemed that a mainstream school with a resource base is appropriate.
