Priority for admission will go to children living in the catchment area and will be agreed according to the Oxfordshire County Council Admissions Policy during June. Children will be invited to attend for a series of visits to the reception class before they start on a daily basis. Prior to these visits, and admission to the school, the class teacher will make a home visit when parents will have an opportunity to talk to them, fill in the necessary forms, and receive a brochure. ### About Us - [Our School](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us) - [Our Vision & Values](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/our-vision-values) - [Friends of Southwold School](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/friends-of-southwold-school) - [Our Staff](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/our-staff) - [The White Horse Federation](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/the-white-horse-federation) - [Admissions](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/admissions) - [Careers](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/careers) - [Local Governance Committee](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/local-governance-committee) - [Ofsted Report](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/ofsted-report) - [Safeguarding](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/safeguarding) - [School Information](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/school-information) ![Southwold Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/southwold-primary-school/images/logo/Image_copy.png) **Southwold Primary School** Holm Way Bicester Oxon OX26 3UU Tel: 01869 324061 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://www.southwoldschool.org/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://www.southwoldschool.org/overview) - [Facilities for Hire](https://schoolhire.co.uk/bicester/southwold) - [Arbor payments](https://www.southwoldschool.org/school-life/arbor-payments) - [Contact Us](https://www.southwoldschool.org/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) [![](https://www.southwoldschool.org/images/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 Southwold Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.southwoldschool.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/southwold-primary-school/images/splash/Copy_of_Reception_Open_Morning_Splash.png)
