Cliddesden Primary School

Admissions

Looking for a school in the Basingstoke area? 

We hope you consider Cliddesden Primary, a small school in a rural setting.

Reception Intake September 2025

Do you have a child due to start school in September 2025? We invite you to come and meet us, where we will show you around and give you the opportunity to see the school in action.  

We are a small school and therefore instead of having an 'open day' we will be running a number of mornings for small groups of prospective parents throughout the autumn term. The dates are below. All prospective parent tours begin at 9:30 am and due to the size of the school are limited to 5 families per session. Your child is very welcome and to attend. You will be toured by our Headteacher, Mr Davies and some of our older pupils. You will also meet the Willow Class Team.

*more dates will be added depending on demand

Please contact the school office  to make an appointment for one of these dates from the beginning of the Autumn Term 2024.  Applications for school places open on 31st October 2024. 

Call 01256 321571  or email adminoffice@cliddesden.hants.sch.uk

Little Acorns

We know that starting school can be a daunting time for children and concerning for their parents.  We therefore invite all our new children to come up to the School with mums, dads and guardians to meet staff and children and become more familiar with school before they start. 

Our Little Acorns afternoons provide such opportunities in the Summer Term. We visit all our new reception children's nurseries and visit you and your child at home.
