If we have a vacancy in a year group, we offer places to pupils making applications to us.. However, if we are oversubscribed, priority is given to particular groups. Further details of oversubscription criteria and the admissions process can be found in our Admissions Policies below. These criteria are only used when we are oversubscribed. We continue to have a healthy balance of pupils from both within our catchment areas and beyond. If you are considering making an application to our school for your child, please do get in contact with Michaela Fordham via the school admin email: adminoffice@southbaddesley.hants.sch.uk
