New school places

Due to severe shortages of places in local primary schools, the Children & Young People’s Service (previously the Local Education Authority) and St Catherine’s Catholic School are increasing their Reception class places from 30 to 60, starting from September 2006.

Parents at the school, while recognising the local need, are raising questions with the school around the logistics and the future plans for the new mobile classrooms. Over the next few years, there will be an extra 30 children each year. Parents are concerned that an already full school is becoming fuller and losing some of its valuable outdoor playing area.

This problem was foreseen by many when the new Pye Bank School was being planned and built as only a single-story building.

The school welcomes all applications whether from Catholic, Christian, World Faith or non-faith pupils. If you would like to visit the school before making an application, please contact the school on 242 1177.

To apply now for a school place for your child and for further information about how and where to obtain an application form, please contact the Primary Admissions Team on 273 5766.
