Admission Arrangements

September 2024

The national offer day for primary school places is16 April 2024. If your application was submitted on or before the 15 January 2024, you will have been informed about your child's school place for September 2024. 

We ask that you contact the main school office on 0161 7646065 to accept or decline the school place. You should shortly receive a letter with all of the information you are require to complete and return to us as soon as possible. 

You will also received a letter outlining important transition dates for you and your child which will take place in the second summer term. We will be inviting you to a parent/carer meeting where you will receive lots of information from the class teachers regarding your child starting school and you will also have the opportunity to look around our amazing Reception classroom. Following this there will be three 'Stay and Play' sessions scheduled to allow your child to spend time in school to familiarise themselves with their new classroom. 

We look forward to meeting you and your child. 

 

 

 

If you would like your child to attend our school then please, in the first instance, contact the office and request the appropriate forms. We are more than happy to show you around the school and let you see the wonderful things that are going on.
