Admissions

​Bridestowe Primary School Admissions Policy 2020-2021
​Bridestowe Primary School Admissions Policy 2021-2022 
​Bridestowe Primary School Admissions Policy 2022-2023
If you would like your child to attend our school, you are welcome to visit us and have a look round to see what we have to offer. Children generally join us at the beginning of the Reception year but we have new starters at any time too.

Applying for a place here is straightforward. If there are enough spaces then everyone who applies will receive an offer. However we do have procedures to follow in the event we are over-subscribed, and will prioritise applications as necessary.

All schools have a limited number of places they can offer in Reception for new children joining the school – this is called the Published Admission Number (or PAN). For us, this has been set at 12. If we receive fewer applications than the PAN, then places can be offered to everyone who has applied. Only where we are over-subscribed with more applications than places available do we work with Devon using the over-subscription criteria in the admissions policy for the academic year. These are a part of our admission arrangements which will be determined annually after a public consultation. See the Devon County Council website for more details on admissions.
Arrangements and policies
Further information regarding the over-subscription criteria can be found using the links shown below. There are no selection tests and students of all talents and abilities are welcome, providing we can accommodate their needs.

“The First Step” booklet explains the admission arrangements for infant and primary schools and is published by Devon County Council. It is available online and in paper format from The School Admissions Team, County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter EX4 2QG. Devon’s education helpline is 0845 155 1019. Further information and information leaflets are available online.
Admissions info


​School Admissions Online

You can apply from home 24 hours a day, seven days a week for a place in our new Reception intake – it’s quick and easy to use and there is no risk that your application will be lost in the post. You can apply for an Infant or Primary School place by clicking on the button below from 7 November to 15 January. At other times, you can apply on a paper version of the form – for Devon children that is the D-CAF1.
Apply on-line


​In-Year Admissions

A number of our children join the school after the beginning of the Reception year as a result of transferring schools or moving into the area. Parents of such children are encouraged to make an appointment in advance if possible to visit the school. Parents must then apply on a Devon common application form. The same criteria will be used if we need to prioritise applications for a place at the school outside of the normal Reception admissions round.

The designated area or catchment area map for our school can be found on the link below.
