You can always be assured of a warm welcome here at Sonning Common Primary. We hold Open Mornings and Afternoons in October and November for parents of children starting reception in the following September where there is a welcome talk from our headteacher followed by tours of the school. If you missed these you can book a personal tour of the school by appointment or look at our virtual tour.  Please see Visit SCPS for more details.

For parents new to our school we have a Parent Handbook.

Our Admissions are managed by Oxfordshire County Council and you can find more details in our Admissions Policy.

Parents of children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 need to apply for an infant or primary school place for September 2024.  Admissions for entry into Reception (Kites) for September 2024 closed on Monday 15th January 2024 for on time applications but you can contact OCC for details of how to make a late application.
