Admissions Criteria

Shoreside follows the Rainbow Education Multi-Academy Trust admission policy. The Trust serves as the admission authority and follows the School Admissions Code. If oversubscribed, published trust-wide criteria are used, with priority given to looked-after children and those eligible for the Early Years Pupil Premium, followed by siblings in the school and then by distance from school. In-Year transfers depend on space within the requested cohort; KS1 and KS2 have a maximum of 30 spaces per class. If no space is available, pupils are added to a waiting list in order of request, with certain groups (children named in an EHC plan, other siblings in the school, or looked-after children) fast-tracked. To apply for a nursery place, families can call the office for an admissions form and must provide the child’s birth certificate; nursery entry is subject to space and to the term after the child’s 3rd birthday. Reception admissions follow the Trust policy and may be subject to oversubscription criteria; appeals are available if a place is not offered. A Sefton Council primary admissions form can be used for in-year transfers. For more detail, see the Shoreside Admissions page.
