If SJP is the school you want, put us first.

Year 7 applications are open and the deadline is 31 October 2026.
Putting SJP as your first preference does not change the admissions criteria, but it ensures we are the highest-ranked school on your application if you qualify for a place.

All families are welcome to apply.

A school where pupils are known, supported, challenged and given opportunities to thrive.

Choose SJP. Put us first.

We’re really pleased to be supporting families to attend SENDLO Live 2026 at The Hive on Monday 12 October.

This free event brings together SEND services and organisations from across Wirral, giving families the chance to ask questions, access advice and find out more about the support available.

Key themes include neurodiversity, the Graduated Approach, Preparation for Adulthood, health and wellbeing, education support, and hearing directly from children and young people.

For SJP pupils, the attendance arrangements are:

Parents/carers should contact school in advance to let us know they intend to collect their child and attend.
Pupils can be collected from school at 12:00pm by their parent/carer.
Parents/carers will transport their child to The Hive and remain with them during the event.
An SJP member of staff will also be present to represent the school and support pupils.
The LA will confirm attendance with SJP using the event sign-in sheet.
Pupils who attend as part of this organised visit will have their attendance recorded appropriately and will not be negatively affected.
There is no need to book a place in advance — families can simply attend the 1:00–3:00pm session.
