Admissions to St Hugh's

Admisions policy for Sept 2025 intake.pdf

Admissions of Pupils to the School

Our Planned Admission Number (PAN) is 30 children per class. The Governors will not place restrictions on admissions to the Reception unless applications exceed the published admission number. If this happens, we will apply the selection process detailed in our School Admissions Policy (see below for policy)

Nursery Admissions

We are able to offer part time places to pupils of Nursery age after considering a child's individual needs.

It is not always appropriate for very young children to stay in school for the full session to begin with and we want your child to have a positive start to school life. At all times, we work carefully with parents to meet the needs of the child.

If you wish to apply for a Nursery Place, please ask at the School Office for an application form. You will need to bring your child's birth certificate or medical card with you.

Reception Admissions

Oldham operates a co-ordinated admissions scheme, where the council allocates all the places for children starting school in Reception.

You must apply for a Reception place at a specific time of year, normally between October and January to start school in the following September.

If your child already attends our Nursery, you must still apply for a Reception place.

You can find out more about applying for a primary school place on the Oldham Council Website.

Please refer to the information letter below about Primary School applications.

In-Year Transfers to St Hugh's

If your child currently attends another school, but you would like a place at St Hugh's, you must forllow Oldham Council's In-Year Transfer process.

You will need to complete a tranfer form, which will need to be signed by your current school and then forwarded to Oldham Council.

You can find copies of the form and further information about transferring school here.
