Salford City Council is the admission authority for its community and voluntary controlled primary schools and publishes one set of oversubscription criteria covering them all; this school is named on that page. The page carries no year label — it is the council's live statement of the criteria for the September 2027 round.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
