Admission Arrangements
Prestwood Infant School offers places to 60 pupils per year group. The school’s admission arrangements are as described by the Buckinghamshire Education authority for all county schools.
All applications for a place at our school must be made via the Buckinghamshire Council School Admissions Portal.
If a space is available they will contact you directly to offer it, and then notify us. If no spaces are currently available your child can be added to the Continued Interest list (waiting list) and the Admissions Team will notify you once a space becomes available.
Where there is an oversubscription the schools admission policy (found below) is applied, and applicants are placed on the waiting list held by County.
We accept all children from our catchment area subject to our admissions limit. Out of catchment children are admitted according to the Admission Criteria set down by the Buckinghamshire Local Authority. Our admission number is 30 per class for Reception entry. Children do not need to have attended our Pre-School in order to be admitted to the school. Children are able to start school in the academic year in which they reach their fifth birthday.
Before applying to join the school, we recommend a visit, which can be arranged through the School Office.
