Admissions

St Ambrose Barlow RC High School is a Roman Catholic Secondary School provided by the
Diocese of Salford and is maintained by the Salford Local Education Authority as a Voluntary
Aided School. The school’s Governing Body is the Admissions Authority and is responsible
for taking decision on applications for admission. For the school year commencing
September 2022, the Governing Body has set its planned admissions number at 210, in line
with the Local Authority recommendation based on Net Capacity. 

The Governors recognise that the first responsibility of the school is to serve the Roman
Catholic community for which it has been established. This is focused on the designated
parish communities and the Roman Catholic primary schools that are partners in providing
for those communities. In establishing their oversubscription criteria, the Governors have
also taken full account of the Code of Practice produced by the Department for Education
and the emphasis placed on supporting children in public care.

1. St Marks, Pendlebury, Swinton, M27 6BY (St Ambrose Barlow)
