Primary Admission (4-11 year olds)

Our school admission procedure for 4-11 year olds is administered by St Helens Local Authority. Parents should contact St Helens Local Authority for further information about arrangements for admissions and admission appeals.

Primary School Admission for Reception
If your child turns four on or between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025, he or she can start primary school in September 2025. Parents may contact the school at any time to arrange a visit or to request more information. We also hold open days in in the month of October each year. Please contact our school office on 01744 734 829 or email us at ecclestonmere@sthelens.org.uk for more information.
