Valley Road Primary School welcomes applications from families both within Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding area.

Administration of admission arrangements to County Primary Schools is dealt with centrally by Oxfordshire County Council. Full details of the application process, deadlines and admission criteria can be found on the Oxfordshire County Council website.

We encourage prospective parents to visit the school before applying. A visit provides the opportunity to see our classrooms, meet our staff and experience the warm and friendly atmosphere that makes Valley Road such a special place to learn.

Joining the school later on

Sometimes children join the school later on in their school life. We make every effort to ensure they are welcomed, looked after, and monitored so that they quickly make friends and can find their way around the school.

Teachers give children time to settle in before making an assessment of their academic abilities. This assessment, together with records from the previous school, will enable your child to have the best start in our school.
