We look forward to welcoming your child to Bradshaw Primary School.  If you would like to apply for a place then please see the relevant contact information below, as the process differs if you are applying for a place in our Reception Class or in our older year groups.

Application for reception class places for new starters in September 2024

If your child reaches five years of age between 1st September and 31st August, they will be admitted to full time school on the first day of the Autumn Term that begins in the September of that year.

For the 2024 intake period Bradshaw Primary School was a Local Authority maintained school and therefore followed the Local Authority Admissions Procedure. Details on the procedure, can be found here:

If you are looking to transfer your child from one school to another mid-year or are relocating to the local area you must firstly apply through Warrington Borough Council with your application request.  More information can be found on their Moving Schools Page here.

We understand that the transition to a new educational environment can be both exciting and daunting for children and their families. Rest assured, our dedicated team is committed to making this transition as seamless as possible. Once you have been offered a place, we will be in direct contact with you to provide all the necessary guidance and support needed to ensure your child's smooth integration into our school community. From orientation sessions, introductions to teachers and fellow pupils, we are here to ensure that your child feels welcomed, supported, and ready to embark on their educational journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

Omega Multi-Academy Trust is the admissions authority for Bradshaw Primary School and allocates places with their determined admissions arrangements.  Warrington Borough Council is responsible for co-ordinating all of our admissions. However, at the time of this schools admission arrangements were determined, Bradshaw Primary School was a community school and the Local Authority was the admission authority. The determined admission arrangements for  the years of 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years can be found here - Determined Admission Arrangements for Community Schools | warrington.gov.uk
