Admission Arrangements
Admissions
Our school welcomes all children and families from our local community. Worthington is a COMMUNITY Primary School maintained by Trafford Local Authority (Council).
This means that Trafford manages the admissions to our school (except in Nursery). Trafford determines which children are offered a place at Worthington based upon their Admissions Criteria. At Worthington Primary School we have a Published Admissions Number of 60 pupils per year group.
Trafford publishes its Admissions details on the Trafford Council website.
The Trafford Admissions team is accessible by calling 0161 912 5007.
