Admissions Policy

Padbury Church of England School serves the villages of Padbury, Adstock and Addington, but if you are looking for a caring village school set in extensive grounds with unrivalled pupil: teacher ratios then come and talk to us anytime, wherever you live.

We are an inclusive school that welcomes children from all backgrounds and abilities. We admit children in the academic year that they become five, starting full-time if their birthday falls between September 1st and December 31st. Children born after this date can also start full-time unless either the parents or teacher have any major concerns regarding readiness and maturity of the child and where a strong preference on either side is expressed for him or her to start on a part-time basis initially. However, we strongly recommend that all children will become full-time from January, unless parents choose otherwise.

Copies of the full admissions policy, along with other school policies can be obtained by contacting the school office.
