Admissions
The Schools Admissions Team at Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for coordinating all Year 7 to 11 admissions to Bartholomew School and therefore we are not involved in the application process. Please address any queries you may have to the Schools Admissions Team at County Hall.
Secondary school admissions are coordinated across Oxfordshire and across LA boundaries. If you are resident in Oxfordshire you should complete and return the application form (CAPF), which is available online. If you are not resident in Oxfordshire you will need to apply on your home authority’s application form. Details on how to fill out the form, and what is required, are available online.
For Oxfordshire, the information and online application form can be found at: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/admissions

Open events and visits
Our transition process begins each year by offering parents/carers and students the opportunity to come and visit our school during our Open Evening, which this year was on Thursday 22nd September 2022.
At other times of the year we offer a tour of the School on alternate Mondays (week A) and Tuesdays (week B) starting at 9.00am and lasting for approximately one hour. These are for all year groups. Please contact the main office (01865 881430) to book.
