Choosing a school, or moving school, can be a challenging time for any family. At St Mary's we want to do everything we can to help you make the correct decision for you and your children.
Below are simple details of which children we admit and when. We have many families who join us during a school year from within Banbury, Oxfordshire, the UK and from all parts of the World. Our children and staff are very used to welcoming new pupils to their class and there is always someone who can help a new child to settle in.
We would love you to see St Mary's in action and invite you to contact school to arrange a tour around during the school day. You will have a chance to meet pupils and staff and ask any questions you might have. Please contact school directly to arrange this.
More detailed information about the admissions process and how to apply for a school place, either at the start of school or during the school year, are available by contacting the school office on 01295 263026 or by popping in to see them. They will be very happy to help you.
