New Starters - What to expect
Children are admitted to school in the September of the year in which they are five and will be admitted to school full time after their initial induction period. Priority for admission will go to children living in the catchment area and will be agreed according to the Oxfordshire County Council Admissions Policy during June.
Children will be invited to attend for a series of visits to the reception class before they start on a daily basis. Prior to these visits, and admission to the school, the class teacher will make a home visit when parents will have an opportunity to talk to them, fill in the necessary forms, and receive a brochure.
