Faringdon is a Vale of White Horse market town in Oxfordshire with 8 schools — 7 primaries and Faringdon Community College as the secondary. Five schools have a Church of England character, and faith admissions criteria apply at each. One school is currently oversubscribed, with an average fill rate of 92% across the area.

Faringdon Community College serves pupils from the town and surrounding rural villages within its designated catchment. Oxfordshire County Council coordinates admissions for all maintained schools in the area. Two schools have received Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings. The high proportion of faith primaries means many families in the Faringdon area should prepare a Supplementary Information Form as part of their application.
