What happened at each school last year

The published figures from last year's offers. They describe what happened then, school by school. They are not a forecast, and they say nothing about any one family's case. Waiting lists are kept in the order of each school's admission criteria (School Admissions Code 2021, 2.15).

Places offered and first preferences: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school level, Open Government Licence). "Put it first, not offered it" is DfE's number of first preferences less its number of first-preference offers. Applicants refused: Gloucestershire's own offer-day tables, where we hold them; "not held" means we do not have the figure, not that it was nought.

Moving to Gloucestershire mid-year

Apply to each school directly. The council does not coordinate in-year admissions for any school; parents send the council's common in-year application form to each preferred school, which decides and must report applications and outcomes to the council.

  • Decision: "each school will be responsible for liaising with the parent in relation to their decision within 10-15 school days"

From Gloucestershire's own in-year admissions page (2026-2027 (links the In Year Admissions Guidance Booklet 2026-2027)): read it there before you apply, as arrangements change each year.
