Admissions Criteria

Admits up to 45 children in every year group from Foundation Stage (F2) to Year 6. Local Authority (Oxfordshire County Council) admission policy applies. Catchment area priority; if there are not enough children in the catchment area to fill all places, outside-catchment children can be allocated places. Applications are administered by Oxfordshire County Council and parents can appeal to the Local Authority if a year group is oversubscribed. Tours and visits can be arranged. Key admissions information includes that catchment, sibling considerations, and SEND status as factors in allocation. For application timing, the school provides dates such as applications open (e.g., 5 November 2025 for the 2025/26 cycle), closing date (e.g., 15 January 2026), allocation day (e.g., 16 April 2026), and response deadlines (e.g., 30 April 2026).
