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]
