Admissions
Bishop’s Hull Primary School is a member of the Blackdown Education Partnership which is the admitting authority, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code and School Admissions Appeals Code.
We would encourage parents to contact us to arrange a school visit prior to submitting an in year application. In Year Admissions are considered by the Trustees of Blackdown Education Partnership. The Trust admissions panel meet on a regular basis to consider all applications.
The School Catchment Area Map can be found here: Applying for school
School Admission Appeal Process
The school uses the independent services of the Somerset County Council Admissions Team to handle any appeals being made. If you would like to appeal your primary school admission outcome please visit Somerset Council Refused a place at your preferred school (somerset.gov.uk).

In School Year Admissions
If your child is already attending a school elsewhere and you would like to transfer your child to Bishop’s Hull Primary school, you need to apply directly to the school. Please complete the In-Year Application Form (see below). Once this form is complete, please return it to the school office where we will consider your application. If there is space within the year group then we will happily accept your child. If, however, that year group is already full, we will contact you to advise you that there is no space. You then have the right to appeal that decision with Somerset Council.
