Children reach compulsory school age at the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday. Rochdale Education Authority is responsible for determining admissions to the school.

Application forms for admission to primary school are available from Rochdale Education Authority, (these are automatically given to parents of children attending the nursery) they should be completed and returned to school who subsequently pass these to the LEA for consideration.

Places in primary schools are allocated by the admission authority up to the school admission limit using the following priority order:

Child in care to the Local Authority

Medical/Psychological (Supporting information must be provided)

Sibling already in school

Proximity and ease of access

Parents are warmly invited to visit the school by appointment to help them in choosing a place for their child.

You will be invited to tour the school and see the curriculum in action. The Headteacher and other members of staff will be available to answer any questions and you will have the opportunity to tell us more about your child. This helps us to ensure your child settles into their new school.

We encourage you to visit the school before choosing a place for your child.

Mrs, Mellors and Mrs Wheatley are available in the office to offer advice and help with the admissions procedure.
