Reception September Admissions

Why Choose Oldmixon Primary School?

At Oldmixon Primary School, we believe every child deserves to thrive —with their learning, socially, and emotionally. We warmly invite you to visit and experience the vibrant classrooms, nurturing environment, and joyful learning that make our school so special.

What Makes an Oldmixon Child?

• Independent – Children are encouraged to think for themselves, make thoughtful choices, and take ownership of their learning journey.
• Respectful – They learn to value diversity, show kindness, and treat others with consideration.
• Resilient – Pupils develop the strength to face challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and persevere with determination.
• Confident – Every child is supported to be proud of who they are, speak up, and share their ideas with enthusiasm.

Our Promise

We foster a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where children grow not just in knowledge, but in character. From the moment they walk through our doors, they are supported to become the best version of themselves.

Families are welcome at anytime at oldmixon and there are lots of opportunities throughout the year to come into school and join in with your child's extraordinary educational journey.

Children Starting School September 2026

If your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 they will be due to start Reception year in September 2026.

It’s really important to apply by the relevant closing date or you may not be considered in the first round of applications. We can’t reserve a place for those who apply late, so you’ll be less likely to get your preferred school. You can name up to three preferences and they can be schools both within and outside North Somerset.

The application window for Reception 2026 opened on Friday 12 September 2025. You can apply online or on a paper application form. All applications are processed by North Somerset Council School Admissions.
