Admissions
Come and see what we do!
If you would like your child to attend Greave Primary our admission arrangements are below.
We welcome school visits prior to any admission application to give families a taster of everything we have to offer. These visits are a fantastic opportunity to get a feel for what we do, meet our staff and see us in action.
Please feel free to give us a call and arrange a tour of the school with a member of our Senior Leadership Team.
We are very flexible and can find a time and date to suit your needs.
Making an application
All applications for a Nursery or Primary School place are made online via your local council website.

Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme
SEND and Greave
At Greave Primary School we are committed to equal opportunities for each and every one of our pupils.
We strive to remove barriers to learning to ensure that all children can reach their full potential, whatever their special educational need or disability (SEND).
Whilst we strive to be as inclusive as possible, we recognise that sometimes, to achieve their potential, children need very different strategies, teaching styles or learning provisions. The Headteacher, SENDCO, teachers and support staff work with parents/carers and outside agencies to ensure the best approaches possible are used in order to support children with SEND.
Our SENDCO Mrs Edwards is always on hand to provide support and answer any questions you may have.
