Reception Admissions

Applying for a school place is an exciting and important decision for any family and we strongly urge you to do your research when making this choice for your child.  Initially, you should always read the school’s admission arrangements and you can find ours by clicking on the link below.  Children can start reception year at primary school from the September after their fourth birthday.

  • If there are more applications than places the school’s admission arrangements contains all the rules used to decide which children we can offer a place to.  The birth rate in the area for that year also plays a big part on the places offered.  The closer your home is to the school, the better chance you have of being offered a place.

·    Please be aware that your family’s childcare arrangements can’t be taken into account when allocating places.  You should explore all options to make an informed decision.

·   Please make sure that you use all of your three choices on the Lancashire County Council admission form as this will give you a better chance of getting a place at a school you want. 

Putting down one single option does not give you a better chance of getting that particular school.  All school preferences are equal and schools are not allowed to favour a child who listed the school as their first preference.  Where more than one offer is possible,

only then will the priority order on your application be considered as a tie-break.  Where a place at none of your preferred preferences is available, an alternative offer will be made.

·         A late application may reduce your chances of getting a place at a preferred school.
