Admissions

Our School Admissions are dealt with by Salford Local Authority and we follow their policy and advice.  

It is very rare that we can't take a child and we will make every effort to get your child in to school as quickly as possible.

Some children are entitled to Free School Meals throughout their time in school. This also helps to fund milk for children at breaktimes and brings additional funding into school. To find out if you are entitled to Free School Meals, please ring (0161) 909 6508.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal School Meals. It is always worth ringing to see if you are eligible for free school meals to help school receive extra funding in the future!

Mrs Carr, School Business Manager, helps to complete all admission information and can provide you with any further advice. Mrs Lamb, Family Liaison Officer, can also provide help and support. We recommend tours of the school. If there is a language barrier, we can provide some translation services and can seek translation for any language within 48 hours.

You are welcome to make in-year applications to join our school. Further advice can be taken from the Local Authority. 

Our school Educational Welfare Officer is Damien Hackett.

The application process for reception applications for September 2026 opens on 1 September 2025 and closes on 15 January 2026.

On 16 April 2026 all on time applicants  who have applied online will be able to view their child’s offer of a school place by logging into the Family Portal those who have applied using a paper form will receive a decision letter in the post on or just after 16 April 2026.

Please be aware that applications submitted after the closing date will be classed as ‘late’, and will only be processed after those received on time. You may not receive the offer of a place until after 16 April 2026. 

Applying late could drastically reduce the chances of your child being allocated a place at one of your preferred schools so we would advise that you complete your application as quickly as possible and before the closing date to minimise the risk.  

Before you complete your application form, you should read the information on this page in full to ensure you understand the admissions procedure.

If you do not get a place for your child at your preferred school, you will have the right to appeal against the decision. An independent admission appeal panel will hear your appeal. Further details can be found at: https://www.salford.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/schools-admissions/appeals/
