How to Apply

If you would like your child to join Fishponds CE Primary School mid‑year, please complete an admissions enquiry. Once we receive it, we will contact you to arrange a visit so you and your child can tour the school, meet staff and see our community in action. Before a place can be offered, you will also need to complete our application form.

If you already know you want your child to join us, you can go straight to the application form. After we receive it, we will arrange a meeting with you and your child before confirming a start date.

If a year group is full, your child will be added to our waiting list, and we will contact you if a place becomes available.

As a Church of England school, we warmly welcome applications from all families and all communities. Every child is celebrated here.
