Admissions
Deciding which school is right for your child is very important and we welcome all visits. It is important that you look around school before you make your final decision so that you understand our school ethos, organisation and how the curriculum is taught. If you would like your child to join us at St Mary’s, please contact school to make an appointment to visit school and meet with Mrs Faryniarz (Headteacher).
St. Mary's Primary School is one form entry, this means that there are 30 places in each year group.
Admission to St. Mary's:
Our admission procedures follow Stockport Authority procedures and guidance. This means you will need to submit your application form online before the deadline date. Allocation of school places is done through the Local Authority in the autumn term of the previous year. All applications are made online and you can find further details at: https://www.stockport.gov.uk/topic/nursery-and-school-admissions.
If a parent is not offered a place at their preferred school, their child’s name will be included in the school’s waiting list. The list will be ordered by the published oversubscription criteria of the school. Waiting lists for Nursery, Reception and Year 7 will be maintained until the 31st December. The normal in-year admissions process will take over and any parents wishing to have their child's name included on the waiting list for the remainder of the academic year will need to re-apply.
Should a vacancy occur in that school before the 31st December, then it will be offered to the parent whose child is at the top of the waiting list. If that parent does not accept the vacancy, it will be offered to the next child on the waiting list. This procedure will be followed until the vacancy is accepted or the waiting list is exhausted.
The waiting lists for all other year groups will be maintained for the full academic year.
