This section of our website outlines the admission process, a process which is undertaken by Stockport MBC.  Details regarding applications for Nursery, Primary, Secondary and in-year transfers can be found here. All school places, including mid-year transfers, must be applied for online. 

NURSERY ADMISSION
We have a 44-part-time place Nursery Class with caring, experienced staff who offer exciting, first-hand experience for children.  Nursery places are offered on a two-and-a-half full-day basis.  We offer 15-hour and 30-hour entitlement places. Your child will be eligible to start Nursery the term after they are three. 

We inspire our children to explore both indoor and outdoor environments, encouraging them to challenge themselves, think creatively, and approach new experiences with confidence. Building a strong partnership with parents and carers is essential, and our staff are eager to share and celebrate your child’s progress with you.

All nursery places must be applied for online here.

RECEPTION ADMISSION
Admission to Reception is through Stockport MBC in the Autumn term of the previous academic year, i.e. the September before your child becomes five.

We have 30 places available for school admission in September 2025 and further details of the admission procedure can be found on the Stockport Council website here. All admissions to the school must be completed online; there are no paper copies available. 

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS:
Children have a variety of needs, including physical or sensory challenges, language difficulties, and emotional or behavioural concerns. We are committed to supporting each child as an individual, and in most cases, their needs can be met within a mainstream school setting. However, some children may require additional support due to learning difficulties or disabilities that make learning more challenging compared to their peers. Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCO) is available to provide guidance and support throughout your child’s time at Bridge Hall Primary School.

IN YEAR TRANSFERS:
If you wish to transfer schools, you are welcome to come and view our school, but please note that all in-year admissions are handled by the Local Authority. Stockport Admissions can be contacted on 0161 217 6028 or via email: admissions.support@stockport.gov.uk
