Admissions

The Ambition Community Trust is fully committed to inclusive education with fair access and works in close partnership with Manchester and Tameside Local Authorities (LA) adhering to their LA Coordinated Admissions Schemes. The Trust wish to continue to follow the locally agreed admissions criteria with no additions or amendments. The LAs run their own consultation processes relating to any changes to their Admissions Arrangements.

We have schools across Tameside and Manchester. Please check out the individual school’s websites below for more information.

Applying for a Nursery place at one of our Trust Schools:

All 3 and 4-year-old children are entitled to a free part-time nursery education place if their parents/carer wish to accept one. Places for 3-year olds will be from the term after the child’s 3rd birthday. Nursery education places can be accessed through lots of different providers.

If your child will be 3 or 4 years old between 1^st September and 31^st August and you would like to take advantage of part-time nursery education, you should contact as soon as possible, the Headteacher of the school whose nursery you would like your child to attend.

The school will keep a list of pupils whose parents have asked for a place. This place will normally be for 5 mornings or 5 afternoon sessions a week. It is the school who is responsible for determining which children will be offered a nursery place at their school. The Headteacher will inform you by letter in March if a place is available for your child. If there are more requests for places than there are places available, criteria will be used to decide admissions, in order of priority. Contact the school you have chosen for details of the criteria.
