Are there grammar schools in Radstock?

How close do you need to live to get into schools in Radstock?
It depends on the school, and the cut-off moves every year with the number of applications. Bath and North East Somerset published how far the last place offered went at this school: Longvernal Primary School, 1.894 miles for 2026 entry. These are the authority's own figures, not fixed boundaries.
How do I apply for a school place in Radstock?
Apply to your council - Bath and North East Somerset or Somerset, depending on your address - through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
