We are delighted to welcome applications for places at St. John’s. Most of our school places are taken by children who live in the local area, but we have also some children who travel in from further. It is really important to visit schools, so that you feel you have the right “fit” for your child and family.
For children starting school in September 2026:
We would like to invite parents of children born between 1st September, 2021 and 31st August, 2022 (inclusive) to apply for a school place for September 2026 via the Oxfordshire County Council website. Oxfordshire County Council have lots of helpful information on their website, including a Starting School Guide https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/schools/apply-school-place/reception-applications.
The primary school admissions process will open on 4th November, 2025 with an applications deadline of 15th January, 2024. There is a final date to confirm a change of address of 30th January, 2026. The national offer day, where all families find out which school has been offered, is 16th April,2026.
We do recommend that you fill all preferences on your application for a school place.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
