Admissions appeals

If your child is not offered a place and you wish to appeal, please follow the instructions in the Admissions Policy. If you need help, contact the school office and we will signpost you to the correct page and deadlines.

In‑year admissions

In‑year admissions (moving schools during the school year) are coordinated by Bury Council. Parents/carers should submit an in‑year application via the local authority. We will then be notified of your application and respond in line with the statutory timescales. If you need help with the process, please contact the school office.

Published Admission Number (PAN)

Our Published Admission Number (PAN) for Reception is 30. Where applications exceed this number, places are allocated using the oversubscription criteria set out in our Admissions Policy.

Apply for a school place or find out more about Bury Council’s coordinated admissions and appeals by visiting the local authority’s Admissions webpages. If you cannot access the website, please contact the school office and we will provide printed information free of charge.
