Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Oxfordshire County Council's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. This is the default ordered criteria for entry to Reception (and in-year transfers Reception–Year 6) in Community and Voluntary Controlled schools. A separate, expanded ordered list applies for Year 7 entry (normal phased transfer and in-year Years 7-11), which adds priority for designated feeder schools (Carterton Community College partnership) interleaved with catchment/sibling criteria. Catchment areas themselves vary by individual school.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
