Admissions

John Mason School is part of the Abingdon Learning Trust and the Trust is consulting with parents and staff of John Mason School, primary schools and the wider community, including Oxfordshire County Council, on proposed new Admission Arrangements for September 2025 intakes and beyond.

These arrangements conform to the 2021 Admissions Code, published by the government.

This consultation takes place for a 6 week period between 20 November and 15 January 2024 (6 working weeks). Once the consultation closes, the Trust Board will review feedback through the consultation and determine the Admission arrangements for Rush Common School by the end February, for September 2025 intakes.

Please send any comments that you have to consult@abingdonlearningtrust.org by 15 January 2024.
