Apply for a primary school place online

The online application form is now closed. If you have made an online application you will be able to access your account again on 20 April 2012 to view your child's offer of a school place.

If you still wish to apply for a nursery or reception school place for your child you can still apply using the primary school application form at the bottom of this page.

Where can you find out more information on the application process?

The 'Choosing a Primary School ' booklet contains information on the application process.

We aim to help parents get their child a place in the nursery/reception school of their choice. However, as many schools receive more applications than they have places, we need a process to decide which children get a place and which have to go to other schools. As a result we ask for you to choose a number of schools and put them in order of your choice.

How are nursery/reception school places allocated?

Places in nursery and reception classes maintained by Salford Local Authority are allocated using published admissions criteria (see nursery/reception admissions criteria).

Voluntary Aided primary schools may have different admissions criteria. To view each individual school's criteria see the 'Choosing a Primary School' booklet.

The deadline for making your application was 15 January 2012. All applications received after this date will be considered as late applications and you should state the reason why your application is being submitted late. Late applications will only be considered once places have been offered to applications made by the closing date.

Please remember that your child is not guaranteed a place at the school of your choice at this stage. You will be informed on 20 April 2012 of the school place your child has been offered.
