Welcome
Our school is a welcoming Church of England School in Everton, Liverpool.

We will admit 60 pupils into our reception classes. If we receive less than 60 applications for places, all children will be admitted. If we receive more applications than 60, applications will be considered against our school's admissions criteria, set out below, in our Admission Policy.
Beacon Nursery Children
Parents of children already in our nursery will need to follow the same application process for a reception place, as being in our nursery class does not guarantee a place in one of our reception classes. If school is oversubscribed they will be considered against the same admission’s criteria as other applicants.
How to apply
The Governors are the Admitting Authority but the Local Authority continue to coordinate admissions to our reception classes for September 2026.
From 1st September 2025, if you live in Liverpool and your child is eligible for Reception class in 2026, you can apply on line for a school place.
Click here to read advice on how to apply. Applications close on January 15th 2026.
If you do not live in Liverpool, you should apply through the local authority where you do live.
Please note, as the governors are now the Admitting Authority for the school, social/medical evidence under Criteria 2 needs to be submitted directly to school before the closing date. Your preference form should still be submitted to the LA.
