You can appeal after the deadline, but Leeds Admissions may not hear your appeal before school starts in September.

If you are not appealing for a Reception or Year 7 place starting in September, Leeds Admissions will hold your hearing as soon as possible. Because of coronavirus, this might take more than 30 school days but they will give you 14 days notice.

Transferring to Manston Primary School

Follow the link above and you will be taken to the Leeds Admissions portal, and will be able to apply for a place. 

If you wish to do so, you can contact school on 0113 264 5445 or email manston.primary@manston.leeds.sch.uk to notify us of your application, and our Safeguarding and Welfare Officer, Miss Thorpe, will check the portal for your application. Alternatively, you can collect a paper In-Year Transfer Form from the school office to complete.

Our Safeguarding and Welfare Officer will then contact your child's current school to get basic information, such as current levels, attendance and any other additional information which may be relevant. If school can offer you a place, we will notify you in writing to offer a position.

If we are full, you will be placed on the waiting list. Again, you will be notified of all of this in writing from the Safeguarding and Welfare Officer. 

If you need any further support, please contact the Admissions Team on: 0113 222 4444
Monday to Friday, 9am and 5pm, except Wednesdays when lines open at 10am. 

If your child is classed as vulnerable

Leeds Admissions have a policy to find a school for vulnerable children who do not have one. The policy applies to all schools and is known as the fair access protocol.

Is my child vulnerable?

If you think the policy applies to your application, you'll need to ask your child's current or last school to complete a Current school information form (PDF 98KB) and email it to education.transfers@leeds.gov.uk.

COMMENTS FROM NEW PARENTS

I chose Manston Primary because I was impressed with the facilities and ethos of the school.  My daughter was immediately comfortable in the surroundings.

Having attended a number of primary school open days we were extremely impressed with the facilities at Manston Primary School.

Our eldest child is a pupil and we have been impressed with education and caring attitude at Manston Primary School. 

My elder child goes to Manston Primary School and I wouldn’t want my youngest to go anywhere else.

I have heard that Manston Primary School has a very good reputation.  I want the best for my child and believe they could give her the best teaching this area has to offer.
