Admissions Policy

If you are applying for places from F2 to Y6 at any time during the school year, outside of normal F2 admissions procedure, please contact the school to ascertain whether places are available. The school can supply you with our own admission form and the Local Authority Admission Form, or you can contact the Local Authority Admissions Team directly to get the form. Once you have placed your application with the Local Authority, they will fax the details through to the school and we can arrange a start date for your child. Barnston year groups are full at 45 pupils and parents must follow advice from the Local Authority admissions team on 0151 666 4600 or email schooladmissions@wirral.gov.uk. The Local Authority admissions team will also advise parents on 11+ procedures and the selection process and GL Assessment materials – website with information to be found at www.wirral.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/school-admissions/secondary-school-admissions-timetable or contact the local grammar school on 0151 644 8282.
