The attached letter was sent to parents/carers and local residents advising that the consultation would now be held virtually, and contained details of how information would be made available and how you can respond.

Firs Primary School Proposed Expansion
Trafford have proposed that Firs Primary School be expanded from its current 2-form entry admission format (60 children per year) to become a 3-form entry admission (90 children per year) from September 2022. Our School would have a 3-form entry intake for Year 1 in September 2021 due to the School already accommodating up to 10 extra children in the current 2020/21 Reception intake. Please read the below letter for more initial information.
