Primary admissions
Wheatley CE Primary School provides education for children from Nursery - Year 6. The school admissions are managed via Oxfordshire County Council (OCC). OCC publish a comprehensive guide on how to make applications which you can access here.
Children will be offered a full time place in Reception from the September following their fourth birthday. The current admission number (PAN) for our school is 60.
Applications are available online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/primaryadmissions
We appreciate that you might like to make a visit before you decide on applying for a place and would invite you to contact school to arrange this. Please get in touch with Heather Flint, our School Business Manager, on 01865 872366 and we will happily arrange this.
We are currently consulting for our Admissions arrangements for September 2027. We are proposing a change to our published admissions number (PAN) and a reduction from 60 places to 30 places. This is due to an on-going fall in the birthrate across Oxfordshire and therefore the need for Reception places has fallen. This would enable us as a school to secure greater financial planning and stability.
The proposed Admissions Arrangements Policy can be viewed by clicking on the link below. The consultation runs from 15th December to 28th January. If you would like to submit any comments or questions with regards to the consultation please send them to our Chair of Governors, Rebekah Sammut via the school office:
