Entry into Reception
Applications for places are submitted to Lancashire County Council. It is their policy to handle all questions and issues arising; schools remain neutral in this process.
We have one intake each year, at the start of the Autumn Term. Reception pupils are normally admitted to school in the September following their 4th birthday. Prospective parents are most welcome to make an appointment to look around our school or to visit on an Open Day. Where this is not possible a virtual tour will be made available on the school website.
Applications for Primary School places can be made from the 1st September 2025 with the final date being 15th January 2026. Places are allocated in April and we have a maximum intake of 30 children. For any families who are not allocated their first choice of school an appeal can be made with Lancashire County Council

Once our intake has been confirmed, we will contact parents/carers to inform them of our Induction procedures . In the Summer Term before the September start, parents are invited to an Open Evening to find out more about how we work and ask any questions they might still have. This meeting also gives parents the opportunity to meet and talk with the Reception class teacher and Teaching Assistant as well as other support staff. Soon after, children are invited to visit the Reception class for short visits. Our Reception staff spend the first week of the return to school carrying out home visits to all families to ensure that adults and children have any questions they have answered fully and to begin establishing a strong and successful relationship
In Year Admissions
Parents of older children, moving into the area, are welcome to make an appointment to visit the school and to discuss admission with the Headteacher. Applications for entrance into other year groups can be made at any time. We do advise contacting us prior to making an application to check that there are places in the appropriate year groups. If you would like to visit our school before applying then please do contact us on Tel: 01772 632724 or [email protected] to make an appointment.
Year 6 Transition from Primary to Secondary
At the age of eleven, children transfer to the secondary stage of education (Key Stage 3). To request a Year 7 secondary school place for September, you must make a formal application through the Admission’s Team at Lancashire County Council via their website.
Online applications for this process starts when your child moves into Year 6 and you must apply between September and 31 October. Offers are made in March.
Appeals for Admissions
Parents and carers have the right to appeal for a school place where an application has been unsuccessful. Appeals are heard by an independent panel. Further details are available on the Lancashire County Council Website and below. Further information is also available by visiting:
