Primary Schools – how places were allocated for September 2026 admission
The Knowsley primary schools listed below were oversubscribed for entry to reception in September 2026.
If your child has been refused a place at any of these schools, they will be on a waiting list (ordered by the oversubscription criteria of the individual school). If a place becomes available, it will be re-offered from the waiting list.
To find out where your child is placed on a waiting list you can send an email request to schooladmissions@knowsley.gov.uk but please be aware that your child’s place on a waiting list can change (moving up or down) dependent on other applicants.
