Reception  

We are a community primary school and welcome all applicants – regardless of geographic location.  We are a one form entry school, with a reception cohort of 30 children. As a community school, we are governed by the Knowsley School Admissions Team, who determine the allocation of places. The Admission Policy is available on the Knowsley Council website: Knowsley Council School Admissions The application period, for entry in to reception, will open annually, no later than the 12th September. In Knowsley, children are admitted to reception class at the beginning of the school year in which they have their fifth birthday. This means children who have their fifth birthday on or between 1 September 2026 and 31 August 2027 can take up a full-time reception class place from the beginning of the Autumn term in September 2026.

The annual national closing date for reception class applications is the 15 January. The Knowsley application is for use by Knowsley residents only. If you live in another authority, you must apply on your home authority’s application, but you can name primary schools in Knowsley as preferences if you wish.
