We can provide general advice only as places are allocated centrally and not by the school. At Mersey Vale, our published admission number is 30 children.
Parents should be aware that :
1) A place in the Mersey Vale Primary School Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception Class at our school.
2) A place in Mersey Vale Primary School’s Year 6 Class does not guarantee a place at your preferred secondary / high school (including Priestnall High School).
In both of the above scenarios, parents are required to apply through the Admissions system before the relevant deadlines. All places are allocated by the Local Authority not the school.
