SUPPORTING YOUR APPLICATION

ADMISSIONS

Holy Cross is a Catholic Primary School under the trusteeship of the Diocese of Shrewsbury. It is maintained by Wirral Authority. As a Voluntary Aided School, the Governing Body is the Admissions Authority and is responsible for taking decisions on applications for admissions.

The Catholic Faith and the Teachings of the Catholic Church have an essential role in school life and influence every aspect of the Curriculum. We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. This does not affect the right of parents who are not of the faith of this school to apply for and be considered for a place.

The co-ordination of admissions arrangements is undertaken by the Local Authority. The Governing Body has set its admissions number at 30.

ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL will be made by the Governing Body. All preferences listed on the Local Authority Preference Form will be considered on an equal basis with the following set of ADMISSION CRITERIA forming a priority order where there are more applications for admission than the school has places available.

Please contact the school office for further details.

CONSULTATION ON SCHOOL ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS 2028/29

Holy Cross Catholic Primary school is carrying out a consultation on the proposed admission arrangements for admission in September 2028/29.

Admission arrangements are the overall procedure, practices and oversubscription criteria used in deciding the allocation of school places. The consultation is being carried out by the school/governing body.

There has been a slight change to the admission policy from previous years. This relates to the oversubscription criteria and is based on the criteria giving priority to Catholic applicants above all other applicants. The Governing Body is fulfilling its statutory duty to consult due to these changes.

The proposed admission arrangements are published on Schools website and can be viewed at https://holycross.wirral.sch.uk/information/admissions/

schooloffice@holycross.wirral.sch.uk (On behalf of the Governing Body).

Any comments on the proposed admission arrangements should be sent to www.schooloffice@holycross.wirral.sch.uk for the attention of Madeleine Haines (Chair of Governors).

The consultation opens on Tuesday 20th October and closes on Tuesday 1st December 2026.
