We aim to admit 6 children per academic year with a maximum of 42 pupils on roll throughout the school.
As well as children who live in Farthinghoe, we currently have children on roll who live in the towns of Brackley and Banbury and the villages of Middleton Cheney and Kings Sutton.
All applications for a pupil to attend Farthinghoe Community Primary School must be made to Northamptonshire County Council. Applications may be made online at www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/admissions or by completing a paper preference form available from the Schools Admission Team at Northamptonshire County Council.
Oversubscription
Should there be more than 6 applications in any one academic year, then the 'oversubscription admission criteria' will be used to determine to whom the places are offered.
Places will be allocated to pupils who have an Education, Health and Care Plan that names the school as appropriate provision. When there are more applications for places than there are places available, priority will be given in the following order:-
If the admission number is exceeded within criterion 2, priority will be given to those who live furthest from the nearest alternative school. If the admission number is exceeded within any other criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school.
Parents/Carers have the right to appeal against any decision by the County Council not to offer their child a place at Farthinghoe Primary School. Any appeals should be made in writing to the Admissions team at the County Council.
If there are more applications than places available, the Admissions Team at Northamptonshire County Council will hold a waiting list. If a place becomes available at the school, all those on the list and those appealing will be considered in accordance with the oversubscription criteria listed above.
