Anti Bullying Policy
We are committed to providing a school environment in which all students feel happy and safe. All forms of bullying will be challenged and it will be made clear that bullying is unacceptable.
Admissions Policy
Our policy seeks to meet the needs of all children and is determined with reference to the Coordinated Admissions Arrangements under which all children are admitted to schools in Year 7.
Following a determination by the adjudicator, we have updated our School Admissions Policy for September 2025-26. Please find below our School’s Admissions Policy and catchment area map.

2026-27 Admissions Policy Consultation
We have been working closely with Trafford Council and following a review of our admission arrangements for the 2026 academic year, we are proposing to change our priority catchment area. This follows a recent review of the schools admissions policy by the Schools Adjudicator, who considered the school’s catchment area and highlighted that it was unreasonable to include any post code areas if these families did not have a real chance of being afforded the priority.
Please see below, our proposed Admissions Policy for 2026-27, along with our Catchment Area Map.
