The State School System The Education Garrison State schools provide free tuition, but if the child is required to board a boarding fee is charged.There are two stages of children’s education, primary and secondary. Primary schools accept children who are 5 years old at the beginning of the school term, and transfer them to secondary schools at the school year (September) following their 11th birthday. These age limits are strictly enforced. Head teachers can also refuse admission to children whose ability does not enable them to benefit from the education provided. Parents of children who do not speak English should seek advice from the Oxford Education Officer before arriving at Shrivenham. All state schools in the Shrivenham area are administered by the Chief Education Officer, County Education Offices, Oxford OX1 1NA, to whom all enquiries should be directed. Overseas students should inform the Education Authority and the school concerned of their children’s educational qualifications and ability before arrival in the UK.
