Admissions 

School has places for 90 pupils in reception and 40 pupils in the Nursery each year. All admissions are controlled by the Local Authority. Applications for places in the Nursery and the school have to be made online within a specified admission period. All information and dates are on the Local Authority website at:

https://www.stockport.gov.uk/topic/nursery-and-school-admissions
 
Parents of children with SEN or disabilities can find further information in the SEN Information Report. Please note that nursery parents need to apply for a place in reception as the transfer to school is not automatic. The admission criteria for Nursery are not the same as those for the school. This is explained on the Authority website.
 
From September 2025 Year 2 parents are required to apply for a place at Banks Lane Junior School via the Council’s Online Education Portal. Strong transition programmes exist between the schools and our children transfer to Banks Lane Junior School well prepared and confident.
