Admissions

Nursery and School Admissions
Our standard admission number is 30 pupils per year group.

Children are admitted to the Nursery Class in the September following their third birthday. Parents/carers who wish to apply for a place are encouraged to contact the School Business Manager, who will arrange an appointment for a school visit.

All applications must be completed online, and the child’s Birth Certificate (or equivalent identification) and proof of address (Council Tax and Utility Bill) must be provided for verification for both Nursery and Reception admissions. This identification is also requested for any child joining the school at a later stage.

Oversubscription Criteria
If the number of applications exceeds the number of available places, admissions are managed by Salford Local Authority in accordance with the following criteria:

Medical and Exceptional Needs
Children with medical conditions or exceptional circumstances where admission to the school is essential. This must be supported by professional evidence.
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school will be given priority.
Children in Need
As defined by the Children Act 1989. Supporting evidence from a relevant professional must be provided, confirming that attendance at this particular school is recommended.
Siblings
Children who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission.
Distance
Priority will be given to children who live closest to the school, measured in a straight line from the home address to the school.

Important Information
If the number of applications within any of the above criteria exceeds the places available, then distance from the school will be used to prioritise applicants within that category.

Once the school’s Published Admission Number (PAN) has been reached, no further places will be offered.
