New Year 7 Parents and Pupils Information 2025
On 22 April 2025 we will receive from the local authorities the list of children who have been offered a place in year 7 at St Bede’s Catholic College for September 2025. Shortly afterwards we will contact those families to begin the process of enrolment.
As St. Bede’s Catholic College is over-subscribed for the academic year 2025/2026, the criteria published in the Governors’ Admissions Policy has been applied to allocate the 207 places that are available. You can read about how places were allocated here.
If your application has been refused, you have the right to appeal the decision of the Governing Body. To exercise this right, the completed appeal form and reasons for your appeal should be returned by Friday 31st March 2025 for the attention of the Clerk to Governors, St. Bede’s Catholic College, Long Cross, Lawrence Weston, Bristol BS11 0SU or walkerc@stbcc.org
