Admissions

If you are thinking about your child joining our school, please get in touch with us. We will be happy to chat with you, answer any questions you may have, and to organise a visit so you can get a feel for our typical school day.

Applying for Reception School Places for September 2023?

Applications for admission to our Reception classes at Winnington Park are dealt with by Cheshire West and Cheshire Admissions team. For information around Admissions, please visit https://www.gov.uk/schools-admissions. You can contact the admissions team direct on 0300 123 7039 too if you require any additional information.

Applying for an In-Year Admission?

If you are interested in your child joining Winnington Park as an ‘In Year Transfer’ then please contact us to enquire whether there are spaces in the relevant year group. Our school is two form entry with 60 places in each year group. We will organise an opportunity for you to visit, to meet the headteacher, discuss the curriculum, see our different classes in action, tour the site and to meet your child’s potential new class.

If you then decide to apply for a place, this can be done via https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/residents/education-and-learning/school-admissions/object-to-admission-arrangements/in-year-school-transfers. You can apply for a place twenty school days before the date the place is required.

Once the application is received by school you will hear directly from us with regards to the offer of a place (if one is available) and an agreed start date. At this stage data collection forms will be supplied to obtain information that school needs and also an information booklet which provides lots of helpful information about school.

If at any stage in the process you have any questions/queries please contact our office team who will be happy to help.

Applying for a place in the Nursery?

We are very proud to have a Nursery integrated within our Early Years provision.

If your child is aged three to four and you are interested in them joining our Nursery, please contact the school and Mrs Jordan our Nursery teacher will be happy to meet you and show you around.
