Getting in
Could your child get a place?
In 2026 every family who put Lyde Green Community School first got a place.
238 families applied and 122 were offered Year 7 places
Families list several schools, so this counts every family who listed it, not only those who put it first. 97 families put it first, and all of them got a place.
In 2026, 25 of the 122 places went to families who put it lower or didn't list it, because they came first under the admissions rules. Room for 900 suggests about 180 places a year. The exact number is in the school's admissions policy.
Who gets a place first
When there are more children than places, most schools give places in an order like this. Check the school's own policy.
- 1Children in care, or who used to be
- 2Children with a brother or sister already at the school
- 3Everyone else, closest first
How close do you need to live? Ask the council for South Gloucestershire for the last distance offered. Many councils publish it each year, but there's no national file, so we don't hold it.
If you don't get a place: you can appeal. In South Gloucestershire, 6 of the 49 appeals heard for places from September 2025 succeeded. Across England, 19% did.
