Introduction to Admissions

Applications for admission to Nursery are managed by the school.

Admissions to Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (including waiting lists) are managed by the Admissions Team at Trafford Local Authority.

Templemoor Nursery has the capacity to admit 26 morning places and 26-afternoon places into Nursery in September 2025.

Please note that a place in our Nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception. The admissions criteria are different and admissions to our Reception classes are managed by Trafford Local Authority.

Main School Admissions (Reception to Year 2)

In Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, the school has an admission limit of 30 children per class.

Trafford Local Educational Authority is the Admission Authority for the main school, both for the annual intake of children into the Reception class and any in-year requests for places throughout the school.

For admission to the new Reception class each September, parents need to complete a Common Application Form (CAF) through their Local Authority, outlining their choices of primary school in priority order. The Local Authority (Trafford, if you are a Trafford resident) will then process the application and each child will be offered a single primary school place in the April prior to the pupil taking up the place the following September.
