Apply for a place in our school

We do not directly deal with admissions to our school.  This process is managed by Salford City Council.  If you would like to apply for a place for your child at our school please contact Salford Admissions Team on 0161 909 6508 or apply online using the links on the right. Our office staff will always offer support if you need any help with admissions.  Where a school receives more applications than places available, a detailed oversubscription criteria will be applied once places have first been allocated to children who have an education, health and care plan which names the school.  Please access the link for Community Schools Admission Details on the right for a full explanation of this. If you do not get a place for your child at your preferred school you will have the right to appeal against the decision. Your appeal will be heard by an independent admission appeal panel. You can learn more about the appeals process and how to make an appeal by accessing the Schools Admissions Appeal link on the right.

Please see our 'CLASSES' page for information on how each year group is organised and how many places in total we offer across them.

Please note: The new School Admissions Code (2021) requires that all schools give priority to looked after children, previously looked after children, and internationally adopted previously looked after children.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR RECEPTION PLACES: 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.  You can apply for a place at our school by accessing the link on the right.
