Our Lady of the Rosary Admission Policy explains:

• How OLOR considers applications for places in each relevant age group (that is, the age group in which children are normally admitted)
• How OLOR intends to admit 30 children in each relevant age group (known as the published admission number, or PAN)
• Who parents or carers need to contact Trafford Council Admissions if they want to apply for their child to attend Our Lady of the Rosary in the Reception class.
• How the school allocates places, if there are more applicants than places available using their Admissions Policy.

Delayed Entry
A parent or carer of a primary-age child can request that the school delay or defer their child’s entry to Reception. The family should contact the school directly. The Headteacher will decide whether to support the delayed entry.

In-Year Admissions
All in-year applications for places (that is, applications for places in the middle of a school year, or to start in the September of a year which is not the normal point of entry) are made directly through the school. The governing body manages these applications via OLOR's application form

Admission Appeals
By 28 February each year, OLOR publishes a timetable setting out how it will organise and hear admission appeals.

Nursery Admissions
The closing date for our Nursery places is in line with Trafford's closing date for Reception places. This year that date is January 15th 2026.
