For September 2019 entry into Reception
The Laurus Trust is the Admissions Authority for Cheadle Hulme Primary School. The co-ordination and administration of admissions for entry is undertaken by the Local Authority.
You will need to apply using the Local Authority form for the area in which you reside. If your child was born between 1st September 2014 and 31st August 2015, you need to apply for a Reception school place for the school year beginning September 2019 by 15th January 2019. If you live in Stockport, you must apply using the on-line system available from mid-August 2018. Please click here to access the on-line admissions form.
Cheadle Hulme Primary School does not have a catchment area. If a tie-break is required to determine which child gets a place then those living closest to the school will have priority. See the FAQs below for further information.
As Cheadle Hulme Primary School is a brand new school, opening one year group at a time, there is currently no availability for mid-year admissions. This does not apply to the nursery – more information about nursery admissions will be provided soon.
Offers will be made in April 2019 on National Offer Day by the Local Authority.
