Admissions

Bishop’s Hull Primary School is a member of the Blackdown Education Partnership which is the admitting authority, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code and School Admissions Appeals Code.

We would encourage parents to contact us to arrange a school visit prior to submitting an in year application. InYear Admissions are considered by the Trustees of Blackdown Education Partnership. The Trust admissions panel meet on a regular basis to consider all applications.

School Admission Appeal Process  

The school uses the independent services of the Somerset County Council Admissions Team to handle any appeals being made. If you would like to appeal your primary school admission outcome please visit Somerset Council Refused a place at your preferred school (somerset.gov.uk).
