Schools in Highbridge
Highbridge in Somerset is one of the most oversubscribed school areas in the county. Five of its 8 schools are currently at or above capacity, and the average fill rate across all schools is 105% — meaning demand systemically exceeds available places. The King Alfred School serves as the local secondary, and four schools have a Church of England character with faith-based admissions criteria.
Three schools have received Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings. Somerset County Council coordinates admissions and publishes updated catchment maps annually. For families in Highbridge, checking last-distance-offered data for multiple preference schools is essential: the high fill rates mean allocations at popular primaries are determined by very small differences in measured distance.
Use the catchment finder to identify the schools closest to your Highbridge postcode and to review each school's oversubscription criteria. For faith schools, a Supplementary Information Form is required in addition to the main Somerset application.
