About E-Act Montpelier High School

E-Act Montpelier High School is a girls' secondary school in Bristol, City of, with a current roll of 851 pupils against a capacity of 925, meaning it is not yet full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.7%, which is notably high and signals a significant level of socio-economic disadvantage within the student body. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 296 total applications for 150 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.97. Of those, 117 were first-preference applications, and all 117 received offers. This suggests that while the school is popular among local families, particularly those who list it as their top choice, it is not so oversubscribed that securing a place is out of reach for a determined applicant. The school operates a non-selective, non-religious admissions policy, and its intake reflects a broad cross-section of the local community.
