Oxfordshire primary school place applications open for September 2027

Published on

Applications for primary school places in Oxfordshire are now open for children who will begin school in September 2027.

Pupils born between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, are eligible to apply for a place.

Applications must be submitted online through the Oxfordshire County Council website.

Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for children, education and young people’s services, Sean Gaul, said the council’s school admissions team will work to provide places at preferred schools where possible.

Applicants are advised to name four schools, as doing so does not reduce the likelihood of receiving an offer from a first preference.

Applications received by the deadline of January 15, 2027, will receive priority over late submissions, which are processed later in the year and are less likely to result in places at preferred schools.

Offers will be issued on National Offer Day on April 16, 2027.
