Schools in Oxfordshire
281 schools with published admissions figures
Page 1 of 5. Showing 60 of 281 schools.
The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

For September 2026, 94.0% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 99.1% were offered one of the three schools they named.

The council's primary schools between them had 8,615 places for 6,903 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

If a family is refused a place
In 2026, families in Oxfordshire lodged 428 appeals about a school place.
263 of them were heard by a panel and 99 succeeded, which is about 38 in every 100 heard.
The other 165 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.
This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.

This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN.
