We currently have spaces in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 4.
To enquire about a place and/or organise a visit to Kingsley St John's CE Aided Primary School, please phone the school office.
You should let the Headteacher of your current school know you are planning to take your child out of school before you visit the new school.
If you wish to apply, an application form must be completed, which are available from the school office or can be accessed on the Cheshire West and Chester Council website.
