Admissions

Preschool Admissions

If you would like your child to attend our preschool, please contact the school office on 01260 633080 to discuss your requirements. We currently offer 15 and 30 hour funded places and top up places for 3 and 4 year olds. 

School Admissions

All of our school admissions for children starting school, or those transferring to school are handled centrally by Cheshire East Council. 

However, we love showing people around Buglawton and we think it is really important that you come and see us at work to get a flavour of our school. If you would like to book an appointment, please contact the school office on 01260 633080 or email admin@buglawton.cheshire.sch.uk.

To apply for a school place for your child, please contact Cheshire East Admissions on 0300 123 5012 - if your child is due to start in Reception in the next academic year, you should automatically receive information about how to apply for your child's school place from Cheshire East. If you haven't, please contact them on the number above. 

As a maintained school, we follow the Cheshire East Local Authority Admissions Guidance. Further information can be found by clicking here, or by contacting admissions@cheshireeast.gov.uk
