Important information
Oldham Council has a duty to protect the public funds it administers, to prevent and detect fraud and to ensure information held is accurate and handled with full regard to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. To carry out this duty we may share the information we hold about you where the law allows it, with other sections of the Council, other Local Authorities and other Government agencies for comparison purposes.
Online School Admissions can only be made through this website if the child you are applying for a school place for is an Oldham resident. Otherwise please apply to the Local Authority in which the child resides. Please see the list of Neighbouring Authorities below.
