Admissions for 2024 - 2025
If your child is due to start primary school OR transfer from primary to secondary school in September 2024 you can submit your application online using the applications portal.
School admission arrangements have been determined for September 2024 for Bury MBC community and voluntary controlled schools.
What is the admission criteria?
For community and voluntary controlled schools we allocate places in the following order:
- Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school;
- Children in the Care of a Local Authority;
- Children with a medical or psychological reason for attending that school;
- Children with elder siblings attending the school;
- Children with church affiliation, only applicable to Voluntary Controlled Church of England Schools;
- Proximity - nearness to the school.
How do I apply for a place, when can I do it and when do I find out about my place?
For both primary and secondary school places you have to apply through your home Local Authority so if you live in Bury and want a school place within Bury or another Local Authority you must apply through us. If you live in another borough and want a school place at a Bury school you must apply through your home local authority. You will be able to apply online for a school place for both primary and secondary school places. Please see flyer for information. Latest Bury Admissions Guide
Policies
Please see our Statutory Policies page for further information regarding admission arrangements including our oversubscription criteria.
The admission arrangements comply with the School Admissions Code and the School Admissions Appeal Code
Appeals
You can appeal against your primary school reception class allocation by completing the appeal form.
For more information about school appeals, including the admission appeal timetable/process please visit Bury Council School admission appeals website.
In Year Intake
If you would like to apply for a school place outside of the September Reception intake, please contact the school office on 0161 723 4538 for details of class sizes and availability. Once you know there is an available place you need to apply formally through Bury Council via the following link: bury.gov.uk/admissions
Parents and children transferring from another school are encouraged to visit the school for a pre-transfer welcome visit to ensure they have all the information required prior to starting.
Transition to High School
The transition of our children to High School is a very important stage in our children’s school life.
All high schools organise Open Days and evenings plus formal transition days during the summer. Staff from each High school will also visit our children at Radcliffe Primary School during the summer term as they ‘get to know them.’ They will also liaise with key staff in school in support of the transition process.
Where our staff or parents feel their child may need extra support with the transition process in terms of greater familiarisation with the layout of the building, routines and relationships, extra sessions are planned in liaison with the chosen High School.
