Transferring School – September 2019 – Year 7 Admissions

In a change to previous years, Somerset County Council is NOT sending out letters to families giving information on how to apply for a school place this year.

The application portal on Somerset County Council’s website opened on 3 September.  You can apply online (http://www.somerset.gov.uk/education-learning-and-schools/choosing-a-school/) or telephone Somerset Direct (0300 123 2224) for a paper copy of the application form.

The deadline for applications is 31 October 2018.

Information for parents is also available on Somerset County Council’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Somersetschoolsadmissions/)
