Applying for a Reception place:

If you are thinking of your child joining us for September 2027, please head to the South Gloucestershire website using this link for plenty of helpful information: South Gloucestershire Council School Admissions. Applying online is quick and easy and you are able to change your preferences right up until the deadline which can also be found on the website linked above.

Our Reception cohort runs at a size of 30 pupils. Where the demand for places exceeds this number, the Local Authority will allocate places based on their Over-Subscription criteria.

Thinking of your child joining us in Year 1 to Year 6?

Families are invited to contact us directly to find out if a space in the desired year groups is available.  Following this, you will need to contact the South Gloucestershire School Admissions team who will allocate a place or place the child’s name on a waiting list where applicable.

To arrange a tour of the school and meet the Head of School, Mrs Edwards, contact the school office on 01454 866527 or email office@gillingstool.org.uk. We look forward to meeting you!
