SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
The following link provides details of the school’s admission and appeals arrangements through the local authority. www.wigan.gov.uk/Resident/Education/Schools/School-Admissions/School-Admissions.aspx
For new admissions during the school year parents need to complete a mid year application form on Wigan Council's website www.wigan.gov.uk/Resident/Education/Schools/School-Admissions/School-Admissions.aspx or contact them on 01942 486030 to discuss.
For any children due to start school in the September after they have turned 4 years old, parents need to register their name and details at the school they are interested in (can be from birth). They will then receive an application form in the October of the previous year before they are due to start. This form needs completing and returning before the closing date. Applications can be made online or by post. Parents are then contacted usually around Easter time confirming an offer of a place. We then start Inspire sessions for the last 6 Thursday afternoons of the summer term for an hour.
