Primary school admissions
Applying for a reception class place for September 2023
If your child was born between 1st September 2018 and 31st August 2019, they will start reception class at the start of the new school year in September 2023.
The online application service (external link) is now open.
You may have registered an interest previously at a Wigan primary school but this is not an application for a school place.
To be considered for your preferred primary schools, you must apply online or fill in the Wigan Council primary school application form.
It is important that you read the ‘Applying for a place at primary school 2023/24’ booklet below before making your application.
- Primary school admissions booklet 2023-24 – Part 1
- Primary school admissions booklet 2023-24 – Part 2.
If you need any help using the online service please contact the School Organisation Team on 01942 489013.
Application forms are also available from Wigan primary schools.
The closing date for applications is 15 January 2023.
Any applications received after this date will be classed as late. We will only look at late applications after we have dealt with the applications we receive on time. This means that you are less likely to get a place at the school you want.
