In-Year Transfers
We welcome children transferring from other schools and work hard to ensure that they settle in as quickly as possible. Parents of children in schools in the Didcot area must discuss moving schools with the Headteacher of their current school.
There is high demand for places in the school and we have often been over-subscribed. However, it is impossible to predict the number of applications for places in the years to come. Spaces sometimes appear as families move away. If you are planning to move to the area and you are looking for a school place, please do get in touch to check the current situation.
Nursery
We welcome children into our Nursery Class (Class 1), within the Foundation Stage unit, at the beginning of the term in which they turn 4 years old. The school processes admissions to the Nursery class itself. For more information about our Nursery admissions, including our Nursery Admissions Policy, please click here.
