About Clevedon School

Clevedon School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 332 applications for 213 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 56. Crucially, 212 of those offers went to first-preference applicants, which suggests that for most families who put it top of their list, it worked out. The school is a large, mixed, non-denominational secondary and sixth form in North Somerset, with 1,367 pupils on roll and headteacher Jim Smith at the helm. While there isn't a formal parent-view survey result to share, the high demand and first-preference offer rate are strong signals that current families are broadly satisfied with what the school provides.
