Notice of Consultation:
Ribston Hall High School Admissions Policy 2026-27
In line with legal requirements set out in the Schools Admission Code 2021, the Board of Trustees of Ribston Hall High School are consulting on changes to our ‘over subscription criteria’ for admissions arrangements from September 2026-27.
The substantive changes to the policy are related to the over-subscription criteria:
- We have amended the definition of “Gloucester City” for students eligible for Pupil Premium to be those that live in GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4.
- We have added a criterion to the over-subscription criteria which prioritises students who live in Gloucester postcodes GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4 by rank order.
The draft admissions document for you to read can be found here: Notice of Consultation: Ribston Hall High School Admissions Policy 2026-27
The consultation will launch on Thursday 14th November and will close on Friday 3rd January 2025 at 5pm. If you would like to submit any comments regarding the above proposal, please forward them in writing to Sue Hunt, Clerk to the Trustees, either by email clerk@ribstonhall.gloucs.sch.uk or to the school address.
All comments will be considered by the Board of Trustees in January 2025 before the final policy is determined and published on our website.

Pupil Premium Information
The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools in respect of children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and children who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months. As from 2012-13 this will also include students eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure).
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit to "close the gap" between children from disadvantaged circumstances and those above the low-income threshold, it is not linked to a specific child, but is to be used for overall impact. However, we are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support students from low-income families.
For more information on Pupil Premium, its purpose, how the School uses the grant, eligibility, funding allocation information and how to request support, please read the Pupil Premium Policy and Statement on our Policies Page.
