If your child is already attending another Wirral primary school, but you want to apply for a place at Christ Church CE Primary School, click here for an in-year transfer form which must be filled out and sent to Primary Admissions at the Local Authority. We have these forms in school also and we are more than happy to send to the admissions team on your behalf. Before applying, it is always best to phone the school to see if places are available first. Appointments to view the school can also be made. Once the form has been received by admissions they will forward on the information to both schools involved with the move. The schools will be in contact to discuss whether or not the move should go ahead. Once a decision has been made the parent/s will be informed and a start date will be set.
Transfer to Secondary School
Children in Wirral transfer to secondary school at age 11. A separate booklet describing the provision for secondary education is given to all parents of children in the last year of primary school. The Headteacher will hold a meeting for all parents of children in Year 6 early in the Autumn term to guide them through the process.Wirral Schools Admission Information
