In-Year Admissions

Applying for a Place during the School Year

You can apply for a place at Our Lady's Catholic Primary School at any time outside the normal admissions round. Where places are available, your child will be offered a place.

Where places are available but the number of applications exceeds availability, the published oversubscription criteria (outlined in the 2024/2025 admission arrangements) will be applied.
You can view the full admission arrangements online at: Our Lady's Admissions

We strongly recommend that parents read the admission arrangements carefully before applying.

If no places are available, your child will be placed on the waiting list. Further details will be included in the outcome letter sent by the school. Please refer to the admission arrangements for more information.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application in writing from Oxfordshire County Council, this can take up to 15 days.

If your application is unsuccessful, you have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel.

For any questions regarding in-year admissions, please contact Vijaya Pereira or Darota Maton

Please note: children currently attending Sunshine Nursery must apply for a place in Reception following the above procedure. Having a place at our nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception for September.
