Admissions

St Clement's Primary is a Catholic School under the trusteeship of the Archdiocese of Shrewsbury. It is maintained by Halton Council. As a Voluntary Aided School, the Governing Body is the Admissions Authority and is responsible for taking decisions on applications for admissions. The co-ordination of admissions arrangements is undertaken by the Local Authority.

SEPTEMBER INTAKE

Our normal admissions number is 30 and Reception applications are co-ordinated by the LA. In-year applications should be made directly to the school. Please download our Admissions and Arrangements Policy for further information on our admission criteria. 

School hosts an Open Evening every year in early November, however if you miss this and would still like to look around our school a tour can easily be arranged by contacting our school office.

IN-YEAR ADMISSION

If you would like your child to move to St Clement's Catholic Primary School from another setting, this is referred to as In-year admission. We advise you contact the school office to see if there are any available places for the required year group.  An application form should be completed and sent to the school office.  If a place is available, school will make contact with you to arrange a meeting to discuss the move in more detail.  If there is no place available, you will receive a letter stating this and your child's details will be added to our waiting list.

APPEALS

If you wish to appeal against a decision, you can do so by contacting Halton Borough Council.

For further information on appeals for school places, please visit Halton Borough Council website.
