There is a requirement for our Trust, which is its own admitting authority to consult upon their forthcoming admission arrangements, as laid out in School Admissions Code - September 2021.
The White Horse Federation is carrying out consultation in relation to our Primary school's Admissions Arrangements for 2025/26 and 2026/27.

We wish to consult on the proposed changes within the 2025/26 Admissions Policy, so these come into effect from September 2025:

Primary PAN's

Oxfordshire - West Kidlington Primary School - decrease of PAN from 60 to 30 

Swindon - Grange Infant School  - Decrease of PAN from 90 to 60

Swindon - Grange Junior School - Decrease of PAN from 90 - 60


The consultation period is now open and will end on the Wednesday 11th December 2024
Please review our Proposed Primary Admissions policy attached. If you wish to raise any concerns or have any questions, please contact: [email protected] before the consultation end date.

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.
