South Gloucestershire School Catchment Areas

South Gloucestershire coordinates admissions across 93 primary and 14 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

Expect the tightest competition in and around Bristol and Wotton-Under-Edge, where popular primaries are regularly oversubscribed and last-distance-offered figures can shrink to a few hundred metres.

Around 31% of schools in South Gloucestershire have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
