UPDATED INFORMATION FROM BUCKS COUNTY:

All parents wanting a school place for their child in September 2026 must make an application by 15 January 2027.

Parents can apply online at www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk from November 2026. 

It is important that parents realise that even if their child already attends nursery at a school, or they already have other children at the school they still need to make an application. A late application can seriously jeopardise the chances of a child being offered a place at the preferred school. 

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.  

Kind regards

ASTON CLINTON SCHOOL

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 Buckinghamshire Council admissions criteria are applied and children awarded places accordingly.

Open Mornings

We are delighted to welcome prospective parents and carers to our Open Mornings during the Autumn Term:

• Tuesday 20 October 2026
• Wednesday 4 November 2026
• Friday 20 November 2026

Time: 9.30am to 10.30am

Please email the school office: office@astonclinton.bucks.sch.uk to reserve your place.

These sessions are for parents and carers only and provide an opportunity to tour the school, meet our staff and find out more about our approach to learning and school life.

If your child is offered a place for September 2027, you and your child will be invited to attend a variety of transition events during the Summer Term. These events help children become familiar with their new surroundings and give families the chance to get to know our community before starting school.

We look forward to meeting you and supporting your child as they take their first steps on their school journey.
