Year 7 2024 entry
This page contains a brief summary of the application procedure for Year 7 entry in September 2024.
In order to be considered for a place applicants must name Bristol Cathedral Choir School as a preference of secondary school on the common application form (CAF), direct to the local authority in which you live. The CAF is available from 12th September 2023.
Bristol Cathedral Choir School has a published admission number of 150 students for Year 7 entry. If the number of applications exceeds the admission number, students with an EHCP in which Bristol Cathedral Choir School is named, will be admitted before others.
Bristol Cathedral Choir School is a heavily oversubscribed school. We received 1151 on time applications for September 2023 entry and cannot guarantee that a place will become available for your child. Therefore, it is essential that you apply to other schools as well.
Where there are more applications than places available, places will be allocated in line with the oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements 2024/25. For further information please see below.
