• In April, you will find out from the South Gloucestershire Admissions Team if you have been given a place at Bradley Stoke Community School Primary Phase. You then need to accept the place. 

• We will receive a list of everyone who has accepted a place. We will then send you a letter to inform you of our welcome evening for parents. 

• At the welcome evening, we will explain some of the school procedures, give you an overview of what to expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and will answer any questions you might have.
