Admissions

The admissions portal is now open for admission to school in September 2026.

All applications for a place in school or Nursery for children from Nursery to Year 6 must be made though the Stockport Council Admissions Team.  Details regarding applications for Nursery, Primary, Secondary and in year transfers can be found here. All school places, including mid year transfers, must be applied for online. 

NURSERY ADMISSION

Admissions to our 40 part time place Nursery Class are managed by Stockport MBC. All Nursery applications must be made online here. Stockport MBC offers a 15 hour place in our Nursery. These hours are either Monday and Tuesday 9 - 3.15pm and Wednesday morning 9 - 11.30am or Wednesday afternoon 12.25 - 3.15pm and Thursday and Friday 9 - 3.15pm. Subject to availability, parents / carers can use 30 hour funding for a full time place or purchase additional hours at a cost of xxxxx. Our Sunrise and Sunset Clubs are available to Nursery pupils at an additional charge but places are limited and cannot be guaranteed.

RECEPTION ADMISSION

Admission to Reception is managed by Stockport MBC. We have 60 school places available for September 2026 and in September 2025 we welcomed 58 pupils into Reception. All applications are made online and further details of the admission procedure can be found on the Stockport Council website here. All admissions to the school  must be completed online, there are no paper copies available. 

You can check to see if you live within our catchment area by typing in your postcode HERE. It is not only children within catchment who are accepted for places at our school as the Local Authority allocates places to pupils living outside our catchment area if not all places are filled by those in catchment. You are asked to express up to six preferences but we’d be very happy if Cheadle Heath was at the top of your list! Further details about the allocation of places can be found on Stockport Council's Website.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS:

Children have a range of needs, including physical or sensory difficulties, language difficulties and emotional / behavioural difficulties. We always endeavour to meet the needs of individual children and most children find their needs can be met within a mainstream school. Some children, however, may have additional needs which require additional support; for example a learning difficulty or a disability that means they find it harder to learn than other children in their age group.  Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENDCO) will help you with any concerns during your child’s time at Cheadle Heath Primary School.  If your child has special educational needs you can read more about the admissions process here. 

IN YEAR TRANSFERS:

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

• You can access the admissions system from most information centres across the Borough (Fred Perry House / Libraries / etc) as well as Children’s Centres, nurseries and GPs surgeries

• Information (but not application forms) is available from school

• The Support & Advice Team are able to provide help on 0161 217 6022 – just ask for help with school admissions

• Waiting lists to start in Nursery, Reception and Year 7 are only maintained until 31st December of that academic year. Below is an extract from the Local Authority policy:

  If a parent is not offered a place at their preferred school, their child’s name will be included in the school’s waiting list. The list will be ordered by the published oversubscription criteria of the school. Waiting lists for Nursery, Reception and Year 7 will be maintained until the 31st December. The normal in-year admissions process will take over and any parents wishing to have their child's name included on the waiting list for the remainder of the academic year will need to re-apply.

  Should a vacancy occur in that school before the 31st December, then it will be offered to the parent whose child is at the top of the waiting list. If that parent does not accept the vacancy, it will be offered to the next child on the waiting list. This procedure will be followed until the vacancy is accepted or the waiting list is exhausted.

  The waiting lists for all other year groups will be maintained for the full academic year.
