Admissions

This is a fantastic time to join our school as we move forwards as part of the Great Academies Education Trust and we would love to welcome you into our community.

School Admissions

In Tameside, children start school in the September of the school year in which they will become 5 years of age, which means most children are 4 years old when they start school.

For entry in September 2024, children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 are eligible to start school in September 2024.

SCHOOL APPEALS 2024

If you wish to submit further evidence, which was not included with your initial appeal application, you must ensure that we receive it at last 3 working days in advance of your hearing date.  You can send this to schoolappeals@tameside.gov.uk  Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing.  The Independent Appeal Panel will then decide whether it should be considered, taking into account its significance and the effect of a possible need to adjourn the hearing.
