Admissions
The school is currently consulting on reducing the intake number for Reception Class 2024 to 30, from 35 children. Please download our consultation letter for more information and details of how to express your opinion on this proposal.
Reception Admissions
Our admissions procedure for children in the Reception class is carried out by the Local Authority, Pupil and Student Services. If you would like to apply for a place at our school please contact:
Bury Admissions Team

Duke Street Bury

Tel 0161 253 6474/7675
Offers of places will be notified by the LA in April each year.
To help parents decide if Greenhill is the right school for their child’s educational journey we arrange several open days and tours throughout the year. However, if you would prefer to come at a different time then contact the school office to arrange a tour with a member of the SLT.
In Year Admissions
This is our over-subscription criteria:
Priority 1 – Children with an EHC Plan/ Looked After Children.
Priority 2 – Children with siblings already attending school.
Priority 3 – Catchment area.

If you are considering transferring your child to Greenhill Primary School, we strongly recommend arranging a visit so you can get a sense of the school environment and ethos. Please contact the school office to arrange a tour with a member of the SLT.
The intake number as of September 2025 is 30. This will remain the case in 2026.
Children Missing Education (CME) Protocol
If admission limit is reached parents have right to appeal: -
• the Appeals’ process is entirely separate from the allocation of places to school and is managed by the LA according to agreed procedures
• if the Appeals’ process leads to the admission of pupils beyond the published admissions’ limit, places which are later given up need not be offered to those on a waiting list until numbers fall below the admission limit figure
The School Policy is that representation will be made at Appeals’ Hearings by the Headteacher, or his nominated representative, and a Governor.
