Starting school at Blackhorse

September 2025 Reception Intake

Admissions for the annual Reception Intake are managed by South Gloucestershire Council. Applications for the 2025 cohort have now closed. National Offers Day is on 16th April 2025 when you will be notified which school you have been offered for your child. We will be in touch with families who have been offered a place shortly after this date to explain our induction process which takes place from June onwards.

If you have not applied for a school place for your child for the September 2025 Reception Intake, you can find out about the late application process on the South Gloucestershire's Admissions Service web pages.
