Admissions

Primary School applications

Your child will be eligible for a Junior School place from September 2026, if they were born between:

1st September 2018; and 31st August 2019.

You will be able to make your application from 18th November 2026 until the closing date of 15th January 2026.

Offers of Primary School places for September 2026 will be made on 16th April 2026.

We do not hold special open days - we like prospective parents to see the school in action on a 'typical' day!  These appointments are for parents to view the school and ask the Headteacher any questions; it is not usually appropriate for children to attend as this can be daunting.  The children will get opportunities to visit their school once a place has been allocated.

We admit up to 30 pupils each year into our Year 3 class.  Once a place has been allocated at school, we will invite parents to an information evening to explain everything that you and your child will need to know before they begin.  Children will also be able to visit their new class and teacher before September.  These events happen in June and July.

Admissions to school in Years 3-6 (In-Year Transfers)

Christ Church CE (VA) Junior School works with the Local Authority and other local schools to manage admissions to our school in Years 3 to 6. These are known as In-Year Transfers.  If you are interested in applying for a place at our school, please contact the Admissions team at Calderdale Local Authority who will advise you on availability and how an application is made.  More information can also be found here.
