School Admissions
Brookdale admits children from pre-school (age 2.5) to Year 6. Our pupil admission number (PAN) is 30, meaning there are 30 spaces in each year group - there may be more than 30 children enrolled in our pre-school as not all children attend full time.
Pre-school admissions are co-ordinated internally - admission forms are available from the school office and parents are welcome to request a visit to the setting before applying.
Foundation 2 to Year 6 admission arrangements are managed by Wirral Council, who run a co-ordinated primary admission scheme across the whole borough - please feel free to contact the school directly (on 0151 677 5170) to arrange a visit before you make the decision to apply for a place at Brookdale for your child.
In addition to the information on this page, you can find some useful information about admissions through the Council website.
