URGENT!
Nursery Parents/Carers
- Don’t miss the
Reception places
application deadline of
Monday 16th January
2023.
As attending formal education isn’t a legal requirement until a child reaches the age of 5, ALL families must
apply for a place for their child in a school Reception class. Attending our Nursery is not a guarantee of
getting a place in Reception.
All admissions are handled by Manchester City Council, who use school admissions policies to offer
places to families based on school oversubscription criteria if needed. Our admissions policy can be found
on our school website.
APPLY HERE
Please ensure that you include all school preferences, as just putting one school doesn’t mean you will get
the place, and it could result in your child being offered a place in a totally unsuitable school.
If you need any help with the process, please get in touch with the school office as soon as possible.
Support Services
We are updating our Support Services page
on the website on a weekly basis at the
moment, as we want to help as much as we
can with families who may need support at
this difficult time.
There is support on:
• Manchester City Council support
