Admissions

Please take the time to look at our class pages to get a real flavour of what life is like at St. Thomas's and contact the school office if you would like to arrange a visit to our school.

Admissions to the schools controlled by Bury Local Authority, the following procedures and policies are used:

Parents have a legal right to express preferences for schools to which they wish their child to be admitted, but this is not the same as the right to choose a school. Places will be offered at each school in accordance with the school's admission policy. Admission numbers have been set at each school to enable as many children to gain entry into the school as the physical capacity allows.

The LA cannot guarantee that a place will be available at a school of your preference, because the demand for places can exceed places available. However, every effort will be made to enable your child to attend one of the schools of your preference.
