Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Reception), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
How places were offered at St Blaise CofE Primary School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: In all categories above, priority will be given to children who are eligible for Service Pupil Premium and then to children who live closest to the school by the straight-line distance as calculated by Oxfordshire County Council.
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.
