If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.

Applying for a place at this school

Eastcroft Park School is a community primary school where we welcome all applicants. We welcome visits to the school by families who may be interested in applying – please contact us on 0151 477 8210 and we will make an appointment for you to visit. Although it is usually possible to offer places to all who apply if there are more applicants than places, the school has an admissions policy that is used to decide who has priority.

The Local Authority consulted with schools, neighbouring local authorities, church authorities and parents/members of the public before determining admission arrangements for 2025/26. An on-line public consultation was undertaken via this website for the required six-week period (from 14 December 2023 to 26 January 2024).

Please note – following a determination by the School Adjudicator in January 2025, a variation to the arrangements originally determined have been made in sections two and three and are now published in accordance with the requirements of the School Admission Code.

• 2025/26 Determined admission arrangements for primary community schools and primary and secondary academies adopting the local authority arrangements
• 2025/26 Determined admission arrangements for nursery classes of community primary schools and primary academies adopting the local authority arrangements

The Local Authority also formulates the co-ordinated primary and secondary admission schemes, which confirm the procedures for applying for places and the allocation process for entry to school in the 2025/26 school year. The schemes apply to all schools/academies in the Local Authority area.

• Formulated primary coordinated scheme 2025/26
