Children joining the school in Years R – 6

Admissions to school are made through Oxfordshire County Council Admissions Team. Please contact the school office in the first instance to check place availability.

You will need to apply for a place by completing an In-Year Transfer form. For more information about In-Year Transfers please click here

If you are interested in your child coming to our school, please get in touch and make an appointment to come and look round.

We welcome children transferring from other schools and work very hard to ensure that they settle in as quickly as possible.

Starting school for the first time

If your child is starting school for the first time, you must follow the Oxfordshire County Council admissions process.

Applications are mostly made on-line although paper copies can still be submitted. The application process usually opens sometime in October and the deadline is normally mid January. If you need help with your application please contact the school office.

Information on how to apply for a Reception Class place can be found on the County Website. Please click here.

Admission arrangements for 2026-27

Hagbourne CofE Primary School has recently converted to an academy and transferred into Ridgeway Education Trust (RET), and as part of this process the school will be updating its admission criteria for 2026-27 (children joining from September 2026). Due to the proposed changes, we will be running a 6-week public consultation.  Consultation Process 
The consultation process will be open from 11th December 2024 to 22nd January 2025.
 
If you wish to comment on the proposals, you must submit your response in writing during this period. Details of how to submit your views are set out below (see “How to respond to the Consultation”).
 
Following the consultation, RET (the admission authority) will consider any comments received and determine how to proceed. 
 
The admission authority will determine the final admission arrangements for the school by 28th February 2025.  The admission arrangements will be published on the schools’ website by 15th March 2025.
