If you are considering a place for your child at Fishponds CE Primary School part way through their school journey please submit an admissions enquiry. Once we have received your enquiry we will be in contact to arrange a time for you and your child(ren) to come and view our school and meet our pupils and staff. You will be welcomed by our lovely office team and will be shown around the school by one of our Senior Leadership Team. Before your child(ren) can join our school you will need to complete our application form.
If you already know you would like your child to attend Fishponds CE Primary School, please complete our application form. Once we have received your form we will be in touch to arrange a time to meet with you and your child(ren) so that we can get to know you and your family and discuss your application. We will only be able to offer you a start date once we have met with you.
If we are unable to offer your child a place as we are at capacity in their year group, we operate a waiting list system. Your child will be added to the waiting list; we will contact you if a place becomes available.
Although we are a Church of England school we welcome applications from all communities, we embrace and celebrate every child!
If your child is approaching their fourth birthday you may be thinking about enrolling them at Fishponds CE Primary School.
This year, we will be holding five open events. During our school tours you will be able to have a look around our school and facilities, get to know our Reception staff and have a chat with our headteacher.
During our 'Stay & Play' events you and your child are invited to come and spend some time in class. You will be able to see what the children are learning and gain a deeper insight into how our Early Years provision runs.
Please RSVP to let us know you will be coming to one of our Open Events. We look forward to meeting you!
If you would like to apply for a Reception class place for your child to start in September, you will need to apply through Bristol City Council.
All in-year admissions are managed directly by the school. Please contact us or complete our application form.
If you're refused a place for your child at your preferred school you have the right to appeal against the decision of the admissions Authority. Appeals must be made through the Bristol City Council appeals process.
