It has been a real pleasure to show so many families around our wonderful school during our three official open events. We have loved meeting you all and hope that you enjoyed your visit.

If you have any further questions or would like to visit once more, please do not hesitate to contact the school office on [email protected] or 01925 728176.

Once you have visited your chosen schools, parents must then follow the school's admission policy procedures and apply via the Warrington's primary school admissions form. If you select Great Sankey Primary and you receive notification in the spring term that the place is offered to you, you will be invited back into school to meet with the staff. Early Years staff will also make contact to visit your child in their nursery or pre-school setting or at home during summer term. These meetings then inform our class structures ready for September.

During June / July, the children are invited into school to experience a morning or afternoon session with their class teacher and new friends. In September, a further short period of transition is built in where the children will attend school part-time for either morning or afternoon sessions for the first few days. Throughout this period, staff liaise with families to ensure a smooth and happy transition. In addition to this, we hold a further parent meeting in October as well as parents' evenings throughout the year and Stay and Play sessions where you are invited into your child's classroom to watch your child learning.
