Questions about Selwood Academy
What is Selwood Academy's Ofsted rating?

Does living near Selwood Academy guarantee a place?
No. Distance only counts when Selwood Academy has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Church of England and Methodist school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
How many pupils are at Selwood Academy?
