Admissions
Our friendly staff will assist you and give you a tour of our beautiful school.
Admission to Nursery
We aim to provide full time Nursery places for children who are aged three from 1st September to 31st August of the previous school year. We also offer places starting in January to children who turn 3 by January during the year before they would ordinarily be admitted. We aim to have all our children admitted to Nursery full time by the third week of September but this will be reviewed according to need.
Parents and carers should contact our Admissions Manager, Tania Evans , if they wish to place their child’s name on our Nursery waiting list. tevans@oldmoat.manchester.sch.uk
Children’s names need to be on the Nursery waiting list by the end of February, the school year before they are due to start in Nursery. Parents and carers will receive a letter during the Easter Holiday if their child has been offered a place.
Parents and carers need to accept this place by the deadline on the letter. Once the place has been accepted a transition programme will be organised for your child. This is run by the Nursery Team.
Attending our Stay and Play sessions can help your child transition to our Nursery or Reception. Please see the Stay and Play page in the What we Do section. Link to Stay and Play page
Admission to Reception
Manchester local authority is responsible for admissions of all reception places, including children already attending our Nursery. The local authority forms must be completed by parents online; parents can request a paper form. This must be completed by the nominated date in December the year before your child is due to start Reception. A late application could result in your child not getting a place at the school of their choice. Children who have a Nursery place at Old Moat do not automatically get a place in Reception at Old Moat.
Admissions to all other Year Groups
Manchester local authority manages these admissions. Please contact Manchester City Council Admissions Team on 0161 245 7166 or apply online a www.manchester.gov.uk/admissions. The City Council will then notify school and children’s names will be added to the school's waiting list. If places are available, the Council will notify parents who will then need to contact the school to complete admissions forms and make an appointment to meet with the Admission Team.
