Bradon Forest School is an academy (part of The Athelstan Trust) and as such determines its own admissions policy and considers all applications for the school. The Athelstan Trust Admissions policy can be viewed here. Other key policies including behaviour and charging policies can be viewed here. Click the links for our Admissions Policy for 2025/26 and 2026/27.
If your child has an Educational Health Care Plan, you should contact your SEND Case Worker as your child's admission will be handled by the Central SEND team and not by the School Admissions Team. You cannot apply online or use the common application form.
