Admissions Policy
The school policy on admissions is consistent with the Department for Education’s (DfE) policy of parental choice, and the Local Authority’s (LA) notion of a catchment area, but is constrained by a standard number. This is the permitted number of children in any one age group, agreed with the LA.
The academic year runs from September 1st one year to August 31st the next, and the children whose birthdays fall within these dates form an academic year group.
In line with Oxfordshire LA Admissions policy children are invited to start school full time at Charlton in the September of the academic year after their fourth birthday.
We are always willing to give prospective parents and children the opportunity to visit and see the school in action, and to discuss with you any aspect of your child’s future education. This can be arranged through the school office.
