Rochdale Local Authority manages admissions for Parkfield Primary School. You can view the full admissions policy and criteria here: 

https://www.rochdale.gov.uk/directory-record/180/admission-arrangements-policy 

Each year, we hold two open days where prospective parents and carers are warmly invited to visit our school during the school day. These visits give you the chance to:

• Meet our friendly staff

• Explore the classrooms and facilities

• Be guided around the school by our school councillors

Open day dates can be found on our school calendar.

If you’re unable to attend an open day, you can still learn more about life at Parkfield by exploring the following resources: 

• Presentation

• Life in Reception Class Video

• Prospectus

• Community Newspapers

We look forward to welcoming you to Parkfield and sharing our vibrant school community with you! 

You can apply for a place at Parkfield through Rochdale Local Education Authority (LEA).

You can apply online at http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/primary-admissions/Pages/how-to-apply-for-a-primary-school-place.aspx.

Before you apply for a primary school place, read the relevant information booklet to make sure you understand the admissions process and make the best choice for your child.
