Admission arrangements

Foundation schools and voluntary-aided schools

The school determines its own admissions arrangements,  These may be viewed here: https://www.st-margarets.warrington.sch.uk/information/admissions

The admissions arrangements explain:

  • how you’ll consider applications for each relevant age group at your school - this is the age group at which children are normally admitted to the school
  • what parents should do if they want to apply for their child to attend your school
  • your arrangements for selecting pupils who apply (if you are a selective school)
  • your over-subscription criteria (how you offer places if there are more applicants than places available)

In-year applications will be dealt with by 31 August at the latest each year by the local authority.  Application forms for in-year admission are available from the school office or local authority.  Their co-ordination scheme for admissions can be found here: https://www.warrington.gov.uk/year-transfers

The timetable and administration for organising and hearing admission appeals for your school by 28 February each year is set by the local authority..

Test, exam and assessment results

Our results can be found here: SCHOOL RESULTS

Please note that these performance measures are for 2023.

We do not need to publish your key stage 2 results for the academic year 2021 to 2022 on our website, as the Secretary of State will not publish this data. This is because statutory assessments returned for the first time since 2019, without adaptations, after disruption caused by the pandemic.

We continue to display your school’s most recent key stage 2 performance measures, as published by the Secretary of State, on your website. For most schools, these will be the performance measures published for the 2018 to 2019 academic year.

In the strategy statement, we explain how our pupil premium and recovery premium is being spent and the outcomes that are being achieved for pupils. As it is important that parents and governors understand this, we write it with them in mind.

We use the DfE template to produce our statement. 

The template has been designed to ensure that your statement reflects the requirements in the pupil premium conditions of grant. This includes a requirement for pupil premium and recovery premium to be spent in line with the department’s ‘menu of approaches’ from the start of the 2022 to 2023 academic year. The menu can be found in the document ‘Using pupil premium: guidance for school leaders’, on the pupil premium guidance page.
