Reception
RECEPTION ADMISSIONS
Reception admissions are managed by Trafford Council's School Admissions Department. The application window for each September opens from mid October of the year before and closes in mid January.
Children are admitted into the Reception class in the academic year in which they attain their fifth birthday. Admissions are administered under the Trafford Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme and parents are required to create a login in and complete a Trafford Primary Application . The link to the Trafford Primary Admissions page is here:-
Parents should indicate their schools in order of preference. This means you should put your favourite school first, your next favourite school second and so on through your preferences. It is best if parents include a 'catchment' school. Trafford will allocate a place at the school you have ranked highest where a place can be offered. This means that if your first choice is Wellfield Infant and Nursery School and there are enough places available to offer you a place you will be offered Wellfield Infants. Where unable to offer a place, Trafford will seek to offer a place at one of your other schools as indicated on the application form. The Published Admission Number (PAN) for Reception to Year two at our school is 60 children/ year group.
IN YEAR APPLICATIONS FOR A SCHOOL PLACE (OTHER THAN NURSERY)
An ‘in-year’ transfer is when a child transfers from one school to another, during the academic year.
Trafford is the admission authority for all Trafford community and voluntary controlled schools.
