Admissions

Applications for a place in Year 7 at Bideford College should be made through the Devon and Cornwall School Admissions process, depending on which county you live in. Please note the first round of admissions finished on 31st October 2022.

  • Devon County admissions
  • Cornwall Council Admissions

If your child is already at secondary school, and you want to change school during the year, there may be places available at the College. Please email our Admissions Officer to request further information.

If you would like any other advice or guidance with the admissions to Bideford College, please call 01237 477611 or E-mail: mail@bidefordcollege.uk.

Our admissions policy is similar to that of other local schools. However, there is no ‘catchment’. If the school becomes over-subscribed then admissions will be decided on distance from the school.

Bideford College is a caring community, and we are proud of the inclusive school climate that has been created through the positive relationships developed between students and staff. We want our students to feel safe in the learning culture that exists in the classrooms of the college. If you would like to see this in operation either as a prospective parent or as someone with an interest in education in our local area it would be a pleasure to show you around. If you would like to arrange a visit please contact us by phone (01237 477611) or email– mail@bidefordcollege.uk and arrangements can be made at your convenience.
