Admission Policies 2025-26

Please note that we are proceeding with an important change to our 2025-26 Primary Admissions Policy, regarding the Published Admission Number (PAN) for West Kidlington Primary School. After careful consideration and in response to both strategic planning and a fall in local demand, the school will be reducing its PAN from 60 to 30 students, effective from the next academic year. This decision has been made to ensure that we can continue to provide a high-quality education tailored to the needs of our students, while maintaining optimal class sizes and resources. We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this consultation period. If you have any objections or need further information, please contact [email protected]

How to apply

You cannot apply to the school of interest or the Trust directly. Primary and Secondary school places must be applied for through your local authority. Once an application is received by the local authority, they will liaise with the schools directly and on offer day, if you are successful in receiving a place, the school will then contact you to complete the Admission process. The guide below shows the key timings for Primary and Secondary Admissions for our schools. If you have any enquiries, please contact us at: [email protected]
