St Mary’s RC Primary School is inclusive and welcomes all who wish to attend whilst recognising that some face barriers to attendance, participation and achievement. Pupils with SEN and/or disabilities have their needs assessed by the school in consultation with the child’s parents, the local authority and health agencies prior to entry to ensure the school’s physical environment and the appropriate resources (materials and personnel) can meet the child’s needs. The school already has experience in developing strategies to meet academic, emotional, behavioural, medical and physical needs, including additional adult support in the classroom, at lunchtime and on school trips, specialist resources, differentiation of lessons and the use of different teaching methods. Outside agencies often give advice in relation to more significant needs. The school frequently reviews its ability to educate these children and revises its School Development Plan. It also reviews the individual pupils who will be on roll in advance of each new academic year to evaluate need and formulate a plan to ensure appropriate levels of provision. Speech and language development is central to everything we do and supports reading and writing.
Children are admitted to Nursery in September of the school year they turn four years old. Children are admitted to Reception for full-time education in the September of the school year they turn five. All applications to attend St Mary’s RC Primary School must go through Salford Admissions. In-Year Applications are allowed when places are available and oversubscription criteria are outlined in the Admissions Policy on the website. Applicants will be advised of the outcome in writing within 10–15 school days, with a right to appeal if unsuccessful. If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Catchment area is checked via Parish boundaries.
