We offer 90 Reception places each year for children wanting to join our reception class. Children who have their fifth birthday between 1st September and 31st August will start in the September before they turn five.
Children’s names are placed on our waiting list and places are allocated by the Local Authority in the following priority order:

Applying for a Reception Place To apply for a Reception place, you need to contact Manchester School Admissions. You will be asked to complete an application form online for your child and submit it before the deadline for applications. Applying late means you will have less chance of getting your preferred school and a delay in receiving an offer letter from Manchester School Admission. This is because Manchester School Admissions offer places to on-time applications first, and places at your preferred school may have already been taken by on-time applications. To apply for a Reception school place, you need to complete an application form from Manchester School Admissions. You can download the application form by clicking the link below. We have also included a "Notes of Guidance" help sheet to assist you in completing the admissions form.

But if you put other schools, and they have places, Manchester School Admissions will offer your child a place at one of those and put you on the waiting lists for your top preferences. If you don’t get any of your preferences, Manchester School Admissions will offer you the nearest school with places and put you on the waiting lists for all your preferences. If a school fills all its places, it keeps a waiting list of children who missed out. Your position on the list changes as children take up places at other schools, move in to Manchester, or move away.
