Admissions

This page provides information for parents and carers looking for a place for their child in our school or nursery. If you have any questions, then please contact our office and our staff will be happy to help.

Visiting the School

We welcome visits to the school, so please make an appointment to come and look around, either by phoning the office 01865 831239 or by emailing us office@charltonono.co.uk.

Starting school - Reception

Children born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023 are due to start school in September 2027.

If your child is due to start school in September 2027, then you should apply for a Reception year place during the admissions window, which opens at the end of October 2026 and closes in the middle of January 2027.

You need to apply through Oxfordshire County Council. You can do this (and find out lots of important information) by visiting the Oxfordshire County Council admissions page.

When applying, you should list four schools, in order of preference.

You will find out which school your child has a place at for September 2027 in the middle of April 2027.

Any application after the admissions window has closed is known as a late application. A late application means you will be allocated a place at a school that has places left after all the on-time applications have been processed. 

Joining Nursery  

Children can join our Foundation Stage Unit the term after they turn 3. To join the nursery waiting list please contact the school office . The school will then contact parents the term before they are due to start to provide an application form.

Moving to the area 

If you are moving into the area, in-year transfers are often possible during the school year. Applications are done on the Oxfordshire County Council in-year transfer page.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us for help. You can phone us on 01865 331239 or email office@charltonono.co.uk
