Applying for a school place at St. Paul's CE Primary Heathside Grove
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
Parents can apply for a place for their child at our school by making an application through Salford local authority.
Parents living in Salford can apply online in the Family Portal. If you apply for a reception place using our online service, there is no need to fill in a paper form.
Before you fill in your application you should read the information on this page and on the admission policy pages in full to ensure you understand the admissions procedure.
The closing date for making your application for a September 2023 reception place is 15 January 2023.
Please note: if you return your form after the closing date it will be dealt with after all those applications which were received on time. You should be aware that a late application will reduce your chance of getting a place at the school of your choice.
Please remember that your child is not guaranteed a reception place at the school of your choice at this stage, but consideration will be given to your request.
Parents/carers should note that transfer from nursery to reception is not automatic and you must apply for a reception place through the local authority. There is no guarantee your child will be offered a place at the same school where they attended nursery class.
