Schools in Glastonbury
Glastonbury is a small market town in Somerset with 6 primary schools and 1 secondary school, administered by Somerset Council. Somerset does not operate a selective grammar school system; all secondary places are allocated on distance after sibling priority. Five of Glastonbury's schools are faith schools — mostly Church of England voluntary-aided — applying religious criteria before distance for oversubscription.
Somerset Council co-ordinates all state school admissions and publishes a composite prospectus each autumn. Families in Glastonbury applying to faith schools should complete the relevant supplementary information form in addition to the LA common application form. The national secondary deadline of 31 October and primary deadline of 15 January apply across Somerset.
