Primary Admission Policies
Proposed Primary Admissions Policy 2025/26 and 2026/27
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.
A copy of this "proposed" policy will be published on both our Trust and Primary school's websites.
