If there are no spaces in your child’s year group at Anderton Park Primary School then they will be added to the school’s waiting list. Children are added to the waiting list in the following priority order:

1. A child is in the care of the Local Authority (LAC).
2. Siblings of the child already attend Anderton Park Primary School.
3. Distance from Anderton Park Primary School to your home address.

Please note that the waiting list is subject to change when we receive new applications. This means that your child can be moved down the waiting list if other applicants better meet the criteria as detailed above. You can also go up the waiting list if a sibling is admitted into the school.

If an In Year application is successful to Anderton Park Primary School and you are offered a place for your child, we would invite you, as part of the admissions process, to meet with us. At this meeting you will be shown your child’s classroom and will meet their class teacher.

The induction meeting is also an opportunity for you to find out more about what topics your child will be studying, how the school day runs and to get information about the school uniform and school meals. It is also an opportunity for us to get to know you and your child including any needs they may have.

We ask where possible that you bring your child to the induction meeting so that they get to meet their new teacher and see their classroom.
