Oak Learning Partnership is our admissions authority but they delegate responsibility for allocating places to Unsworth Primary School to the local authority, Bury Council. This page provides further information on the admissions process.
To be able to apply for a place in a Bury school, you must be resident in Bury. If you live outside the borough, you must apply through your home authority.
