Admissions
This page provides information for parents and carers looking for a place for their child in our school. If you have any questions, then please contact our office and our staff will be happy to help.
Starting school
Children born between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021 need to start school in September 2025.
If your child needs to start school in September 2025, then you should apply for a reception year place during the admissions window, which opens at the end of October 2024 and closes in the middle of January 2025.
You need to apply through Oxfordshire County Council. You can do this (and find out lots of important information) by visiting the Oxfordshire County Council admissions page.
​When applying, you should list four schools, in order of preference.
You will find out which school your child has a place at for September 2025 in the middle of April 2025.

Late applications
Any application after the admissions window has closed in the middle of January is known as a late application.
A late application means you will be allocated a place at a school that has places left after all the on-time applications have been processed.
In-year transfers
If you are moving into the area or if you feel Madley Brook would meet your child's specific needs better than their current school, in-year transfers are often possible.
Applications are done on the Oxfordshire County Council in-year transfer page.
If you have any questions about this process, please don’t hesitate to ask us for help.
