Reception Admissions
If your child was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021, they are due to start primary school in 2025. You can apply online at CWAC from 1st September 2024.
We have the capacity to take up to 45 pupils in our Reception cohort. If 30 or less children are offered a place with us then we will have 1 Reception class however if up to 45 children are offered a place then we will have two Reception classes of 22 and 23.
Once you have made your decision on the school you would like your child to join then applications must be made through the local authority, Cheshire West and Cheshire Council. For further information on admissions please click on www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk
The Cheshire West and Chester Council's information booklet 'Starting Primary School Admission Booklet'will also provide you with more information.
Cheshire West and Chester County Council policy ensures that all children living within a catchment area can be offered a place at a school near to their home. However, parents can express a preference for a school which is not necessarily local to them. If the preferred school is below its admission limit for the relevant age group a place will be offered.
Where schools are over subscribed the priorities for admission are on the following basis:-
Pupils living within the school’s catchment area
Pupils with brothers or sisters in the school
Pupils for whom personal/domestic circumstances presented by parents justify, in the Authority’s view, admission to a particular school.
Pupils living nearest to the school.
Cheshire West and Chester Council are responsible for any appeals should we not have any available places in a year group. Details can be found on their website.
In Year Admissions
Applications for places in all year groups, including reception during the school year, are managed by the school.
Please contact Mrs Jan Lovelock or Mrs Jane Taylor in the school office on 01829 708188 for further information.

Stay and Play at Tarporley CE Primary
Our Reception classroom and fantastic outdoor learning spaces will be opened up for children due to start in Reception Class the following September, with their parents or family members. Each session will last for 1 hour. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to spend time with our reception teacher Miss Selwyn and become familiar with the school environment. This makes transition to school a much smoother process with the children already confident in the classroom.
To book a place please call 01829 708188 or email admin@tarporleyce.cheshire.sch.uk
