Mid-Year and Non Reception Admissions

If you would like to apply to transfer your child/ren to Kewstoke Primary School, we recommend that you telephone the school on 01934 623430 to check whether places are available in the required year groups, and to make an appointment to visit the school and take a tour with the Headteacher.

In-Year admission applications should be made via the North Somerset Council website at Citizen Portal - Sign in (n-somerset.gov.uk)

Transfer to Secondary School

At the end of year 6, children transfer to secondary school and unless parents make alternative arrangements for secondary education, children living in Kewstoke and the surrounding villages usually transfer to either Priory, Winterstoke hundred or Broadoak. Applications for a place at secondary school must be made through North Somerset Council in the Autumn term of year 6. The deadline for secondary school admissions for September 2025 is by 12pm on 31st October 2025. You can apply online.

Transfer arrangements for our Year 6 pupils going to Secondary School are sent to parents during the Spring Term prior to their children starting in September. These arrangements include visits to Kewstoke by Secondary School staff, visits made to local Secondary Schools by our Year 6 pupils and Parents Evenings when you can visit the school and meet the teachers who will be directly involved with your child/children.
