Admissions and Transition

On this page you’ll find information about what it means to be a part of the Marple Hall School community.

2027-2028 Admissions Consultation Outcome

A consultation into changes to the admissions criteria was undertaken in the Autumn term 2025, regarding changes to come into effect from September 2027 onwards. The outcome of the consultation and resultant decisions can be seen below.

Useful information

Please see below links to a wide range of information on everything related to moving to MHS next September.

Marple Hall uses the Stockport Local Authority admissions process.

Applications for Year 7 will open in September, just after your child has started in Year 6. Applications usually close in November, and you will hear whether or not your child has been offered a place at Marple Hall in March.

Starting with us

If you have anything you wish to discuss with us regarding your child’s transfer, please email our transition email in the first instance – transition@marplehall.stockport.sch.uk with any queries/concerns.
Please be aware this inbox is only active from the offer day ( beginning of March ) until mid September, and during this time is checked weekdays between 8am and 4pm.

If you have an enquiry outside of this time please contact main reception on – 0161 427 7966

Once your child has been offered a place we correspond with prospective parents directly regarding transition. A copy of all relevant information is posted on this page.

Home-School Communications

We have two systems which enable parents and carers to keep track of students’ school life. We encourage everyone with parental responsibility for our students to install both apps.
