Admissions

Selside is a Church of England Primary School with Voluntary Controlled status. Nursery children are catered for in an Early Years Class known as the Adventures. We follow our Admissions Policy (attached below) when allocating places. All children seeking admission are treated equally regardless of special needs or disability. We would always look to support vulnerable children or families in need.

Our admission number as set at 16 children per year group, we welcome children from outside our catchment areas if places are available.

Children normally transfer to Queen Katherine School or Kirkbie Kendal, both in the local town of Kendal at the age of 11. If you have any concerns or questions about secondary transfer, please come and discuss them with Miss Lowther (our Headteacher).

Parents of prospective pupils are encouraged to contact the school for further information and to make an appointment to visit.

We look forward to working with you in the future.
