Schools in Radstock
Radstock is a former coalfield town in northeast Somerset with 22 state schools administered by Somerset Council. The Radstock and Midsomer Norton area has a dense concentration of small community primaries, many of which are only modestly oversubscribed - meaning most applications within the normal area are successful. Bath and North East Somerset forms the neighbouring authority for families close to the boundary near Peasedown St John.
Secondary education in the area centres on the schools in Midsomer Norton, which draw from a wide rural hinterland across northeast Somerset. Somerset Council co-ordinates admissions and publishes its annual scheme of co-ordination each autumn, including the previous year's last-distance-offered data.
School demand in Radstock
Across the 20 schools in Radstock with published capacity data, the average fill rate is 82%. 4 of them are currently at or above their published admission number, and at those schools catchment distance is likely to decide places at the next intake.
10 schools in Radstock have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
17 of the schools in Radstock are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Somerset, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
12 of the schools in Radstock have a current Ofsted rating, of which 7 are rated Good or Outstanding. Demand and catchment distance tend to be tightest at the highest-rated schools.
