RECEPTION Admissions (30 PLACES - allocated places per year group)

A place in our Nursery does not guarantee a place in a reception class.The admission procedure has to be applied again. Children are admitted to our Reception in September at the age of 4. Places are allocated by the local authority as long as parents have completed an online application form the previous year. Parents are informed of their allocated place at the start of April, ready for their child to start in September. Allocation of places is based on Stockport‘s admission procedure.
