Admissions
For September 2018 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 2013 and 31st August 2014 you need to apply for a Reception school place for the school year beginning September 2018 by 15th January 2018. If you live in Stockport you must apply using the on-line system available from mid-August 2017. Please click here to access the on-line admissions form.
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 on 16th April 2018 by the Local Authority. If we have not entered into a funding agreement with the Secretary of State by that date, they will be conditional offers and will be confirmed once we have a signed funding agreement.
