Thank you for considering Aston Clinton as the school for your child.   

If you have not yet visited our school, please do contact the school office to arrange for a tour with our Headteacher, Mrs Macdonald; our Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Cole or our SENCo, Mrs Garraway. They will be very proud to show you our school in action

Our school serves the parishes of Aston Clinton, Buckland and Drayton Beauchamp and in addition we have on roll a number of children from outside our reserved area whose parents have chosen this school. Our admission number for each year group is 58, and if requests exceed this number the County admissions criteria are applied and children awarded places accordingly.

Admissions to the reception classes are co-ordinated by the Buckinghamshire Council Admissions Team. The admissions process is detailed on their website Buckinghamshire Council Admissions.  All reception age children will be offered a full time place from September. However, there is an option for children to have a part time place if parents feel it is more suitable for their child and we are happy to discuss this on an individual basis.

In-year admissions are also dealt with by the Bucks Council Admissions Team and full details of the process are also available on the website link above.

We also have an Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP) for children who have an Educational Health Care Plan with an identified language impairment. This department takes up to ten children from across the County. Please see entry criteria on the ARP page (found under the SEN tab) of this website

Admission to Secondary school 

At the age of 11, children transfer to secondary schools according to parental preferences and the results of the Secondary Schools Allocation Procedures. Our pupils mostly transfer to the John Colet Upper School or one of the three grammar schools in Aylesbury. A small group of children go to Tring School in Hertfordshire.

Families who live in our catchment area are advised to refer to the County school transport policy to find out if they are eligible.

The application process for secondary school places begins in the autumn term. Information about the 11+ system and the application process can be found on the Council website also using the link given above.
