Admission Arrangements

Admission into Reception

Starting school and admission into our Reception  is for the September before your child’s 5th birthday. Our Published Admissions Number (PAN) into our Reception class is 60.   For details of how places are allocated, see our admissions policy.

To apply for Park Road, even though we are an academy, you need to fill in Trafford’s coordinated admissions form as they do our Reception admissions on our behalf.   You should find this on their website or contact them directly. Complete your application with Trafford Local Authority either online or hard copy by the set date (usually 15th January). The local authority will inform you of the decision in April when they allocate all school places.

Please be aware that we are normally heavily over subscribed. If you are unsuccessful you do have the right to appeal this decision.  Before considering an appeal, however, you are invited to talk to the headteacher so that you can gain an understanding of how places have been allocated.  To view our Appeals Timetable click onthe button below.

We are currently in consultation to revise our Admissions Policy for entry into Reception in 2026. Please click the proposal link below to read more about our proposed changes and how to respond to the consultation.

Other Admissions

For in-year admissions and admissions to year groups other than Nursery and Reception please telephone or email the school (0161 973 1392 / admin@parkroadsale.trafford.sch.uk) to check whether we have any available places. We can put your child’s name on our waiting list if we do not currently have a place.
