Admissions
We warmly welcome prospective families to Witherley Church of England Primary School. At the start of the autumn term, we host an Open Day to give parents, carers and their children the opportunity to visit the school, meet staff, and experience our learning environment. These events are advertised via our website and social media channels.
If you're unable to attend an Open Day, we’d still love to show you around! Please contact the school office to arrange a personal tour with Mrs Middleton, who will be delighted to welcome you.
