Admission Arrangements

Quainton Church of England Primary School operates a one point of admission into Reception class every September.  We also accept in-year admissions. Our planned admission number is 30 children per class. This is based on our net capacity which considers the space available to children and the facilities at the school. This number has been agreed by the school’s governing body and the Local Authority.

The Local Authority is responsible for all of our school admissions, in addition to the 11+ and the secondary school transfer. Therefore, for further information please use the link and/or contact details below:

If your child is starting school in September 2026, the closing date for applications are in January 2026.  We will be holding an open morning on Tuessday October 17th 2025 for parents looking to start in Reception in September 2026. Please arrive from 9am am for a chance to meet the Headteacher and then tours of the school. We look forward to meeting you.

We welcome new admissions to our school from both within and outside the catchment area. Here are just some of the comments parents have shared about our school:

“The teachers and the headteacher are very approachable and willing to discuss any issues.”

 
“The class teacher knows my child almost as well as me.”

 
“The choir and football clubs have brought my daughter out of her shell.” 

“My son has a wonderful teacher who always makes time for me. I have always had great communication with the school.”

 
“His teacher makes learning fun and her enthusiasm and energy shines through to the kids.”

 
“I feel that my daughter is extremely safe at school.”

Please note If parents wish to appeal against a decision to refuse entry, they can do so by
applying to the LEA. An independent appeals panel then meets to consider all
appeals by parents who have been refused a place at our school and who wish
to appeal against this decision. The closing date for this is 28th February every year.
