School Admissions

Admissions involve children starting school in Reception class of September and also in year admissions. The booklet at the foot of this page is published by Cheshire West and Chester to support parents in making preferences and applying for places for Reception. Please contact the school office on 01244 292426 for any admission questions in queries.

We will arrange dates to view the school in November.

Cheshire West and Chester have produced a School Readiness Booklet as a guide for parents. This document is attached at the bottom of the page.

Applications for places in any year group other than at normal admission times must be made directly to the school and not to your home local authority. Waiting lists for in year admissions will be held by the school in criteria order and not on a first come first served basis. 

Full details of this process is available on the website at www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/admissions or by contacting the authority on 0300 123 7039
