Admissions

 

Please note that only Nursery places are dealt with by the school and that places for children in Reception to Year 6 are processed by Manchester City Council's Admissions Team. Our school is often oversubscribed and if this is the case for your child's year group, then applicants will be placed on a waiting list.

If you have any queries relating to Nursery admissions, then please email [email protected] If your query relates to Reception to Year 6, then you can make contact with Manchester City Council at:
