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.

In-Year Admissions & Moving to Larkhill Primary School
Since the school population consists mainly of children of service families from the local garrison, Larkhill School’s staff and pupils are used to children joining the school mid-term, and endeavour to make the change of schools as smooth as possible.
Parents moving to the Larkhill area should contact our school office as soon as possible to arrange a visit for the family. They will be given the opportunity to meet the head teacher and class teacher, see the school and how it functions, and have any questions answered. Applications for a school place will need to be submitted through the Wiltshire Council website.
For information regarding in-year admissions, please visit the Wiltshire Council website.

New Starters - What to Expect
We recognise that the start children have to school life is of vital importance, and at Larkhill, we endeavour to make it a happy and positive experience. The early years unit has been set up to assist with the transition from home to school life. Prospective parents are actively encouraged to visit the school, and appointments to meet the head teacher can be made very easily via the school office.
You can find out more information about your child’s start to school on our Reception Transition page and in the download below.
