Primary School Applications for September 2017
Parents with children born between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013 should apply now for a Primary School
place on-line at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/admissions. The closing date for Reception applications is on Sunday 15th
January 2017. The closing date is extremely important as late applications will not be considered until May 2017 and
parents who make a late application are less likely to be offered a place at one of their preferred schools. Please come
and see us at the office if you need any help with this.
