Admission arrangements for BCP schools 2024-25

We've created one single admissions policy for its community and voluntary controlled schools and a separate policy for responding to requests for admission to community and voluntary controlled schools (to a year group different to that determined by their date of birth, including delayed admission to reception for summer born children).

We're the admission authority for:

• Burton CE Primary School
• Christchurch Infant School
• Mudeford Community Infants School
• Mudeford Junior School
• Somerford Primary School

The following primary schools require a Supplementary Information Form to be completed and returned:

• Baden Powell & St Peter's CE Junior School
• Bishop Aldhelm's CE Primary School
• Burton CE Primary School
• Lilliput CE Infant School
• Longfleet CE Primary School

You may also wish to look at BCP Council Co-ordinated Scheme 2024/25 to see how we process applications.
