We have places available across the school - all faiths and non-faith welcome.
Applications for moving during the school year can only be made online using the Citizen Portal. Once the application has been processed and a decision reached (10 – 15 school days), you will receive an email informing you that your child’s school place details are available in the Citizen Portal. To view the offer information, you will need to log into the CITIZEN PORTAL > This will advise you of the school place offered to your child and what you need to do next.
Before you fill in your application you should read the information on the Bolton Council https://www.bolton.gov.uk/admissions/moving-school-year as it explains the admissions procedure in full.
Please note if your child has an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP) you must contact the SEN Team – ea.sen@bolton.gov.uk as Bolton Council do not process applications for school transfer where a child has an EHCP
