All admission requests are processed by the local authority and Redfield Edge Primary has no role in this process. Redfield Edge has a standard intake of 30 children per year group. If you would like a school place for your child to start in our reception class then you will need to apply directly to South Gloucestershire Council.

For parents/carers of children seeking to join the school in years other than reception please refer to the South Gloucestershire in-year admissions page on the same link.

The following considerations are included within the LA admissions policy but for full details please refer to the policy itself:-

Our intake will mainly be considered from the local geographical area.

We aim to provide sibling placements wherever possible.

Any over subscription of a year group will then automatically operate within the County guidelines (copies available from South Gloucestershire Admissions).

Children with special educational needs and disabilities will be welcomed as long as Governors deem that the school can provide the required level of support, in a partnership with the local authority. A programme of support for the individual child will be agreed between the Headteacher, Special Needs Co-ordinator, Class Teacher and Parents.

Redfield Edge Primary will operate a staggered induction programme for each child as they begin formal schooling.

Please see the proposed Admission Arrangements for Mosaic Partnership Trust schools for the 2028-2029 academic year that we are consulting on from 03 November to 16 December inclusive.  Any comments on this proposal may be sent to The Mosaic Partnership Trust by email to or by post at the following address, please include ‘PAN consultation’ in the subject title:

Appeals

Every effort is made to make a place available for your child in our school. However, schools have a limit on the number of children they can take. This figure is set by the LA and agreed with the School Governors and Headteacher.

If a place is not available on application you have the right to put your case to an Admissions Appeal Panel.

An independent panel will hear your case. It has the power to override the decisions of the LA in some circumstances.
