Admissions & School Places

as a Community School we follow Local Authority guidance and procedures

Families interested in a school place should contact the school office. If there are more than one family on the waiting list, the Local Authority fair admission criteria will be applied. If there is no waiting list in the year group places are allocated on a first come basis. You can e-mail the school and ask to be informed when places become available. Further details regarding in-year transfers can be found on the Cheshire West and Chester website.

Statutory Guidance Documents for Admissions and Appeals

All applications are made online. As a Community Primary School we follow the CWAC admissions process.

We currently have a very small number of places in just a few year groups. Please contact Sam Taylor, our school business manager, if you would like to inquire about a place for your child.

Pupil Premium

We offer a one-off uniform grant to any child starting with us who is entitled to Pupil Premium. We will provide a sweatshirt, two polo shirts, PE kit and book bag for any child receiving this additional funding.

Open days for parents interested in Reception places are usually held in the Autumn term. Tours are led by year 6 children and Mrs Rutter-Brown and Mrs McHugh are available to talk to. Details of these are on the school calendar.

The leaflet School Readiness has been developed in consultation with parents and agencies who support children's learning and development in the 4 to 5 years before they come to school.
