Admissions
If you are interested in your son or daughter attending the Bridgwater College Academy the admission process, time and starting date will very much depend on which phase you are hoping to be able to join and when in the Academic year you would like to start.
Arrangements are slightly different for those wishing to join the Nursery, Primary Phase and Secondary Phase either at the start of the year or mid-way through.
For all admission information please see our Admission Policies:
For all new admissions mid-way through the academic year the In Year Application form needs to be completed and returned to the main reception at the Academy.
