Reception 2026

The closing date for Reception 2026 has now passed.  We will be opening one class of 30 children. If you are still looking for a reception place or have just moved into the area, you will need to apply via Oxfordshire County Council and this will be processed later on in the year.  

If you have already applied for Reception 2026 and met the deadline of the 15th January 2026, you will be contacted by Oxfordshire County Council on 16th April 2026 about your child's placement for September.  Please make sure that you have used all your choices on your application form.  Once an offer has been made, you will have until the 30th April to respond to the offer made and to join a waiting list, should the school be oversubscribed. 

Admissions Policies - Nursery and Reception 

Entry September 2027

Arrangements For The Admission Of Pupils With Disabilities

We are always pleased to meet new parents in person and show them around. Please telephone the school to make arrangements, or write or call in – ask for our SENCO who will be happy to meet with you in the first instance so that we can do everything reasonably possible to meet your child's specific needs. You will always be welcomed.  We can also advise you on the application process if needed.

As far as possible, Omnia Learning Trust will try to meet parental preferences for schools but it is not always possible to do so. Places in schools are limited by the physical space in the school. Sires Hill Primary Academy has an admission limit of 60 children per year group, but currently has only opened one class in each year group so there are 30 spaces. 

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disabled person as one who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a persons ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. 

Most children with Special Needs will not be disabled within the meaning of the Act. The admission of pupils with disabilities is considered in the first instance in the same way as non-disabled pupils.  Further considerations are made in the light of need and accessibility.  It is the Trust's policy to accommodate pupils with disabilities should parents wish and individual needs are planned for, to prevent any pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils.  In practice we ensure that classroom and extra curricular activities encourage the participation of all pupils, including those categorised as having Special Educational Needs.  Staff organise human and physical resources within the school to increase access to learning and participation by all pupils.
