Entry to Foundation Stage (Reception Class)
If you are thinking of applying for a place for your child at age 4 please check our admission policy (left) for further details. Although we think our website tells you a lot about our school there is nothing better than coming to see us for real and watching our staff and children at work – we are sure you will be impressed. If you would like to visit then please contact the school office to make an appointment.
In Year Admissions
In-year admission is the process of applying for a school place during the school year. Any applications for the intake made after the start of the autumn term will be treated as an in-year application.
The in-year admission process is managed by the school. Parents are required to complete the in-year application form, which is available from the school website.
Where a place cannot be secured, parents will be offered a legal right of appeal to an independent appeal panel.
Lancashire County Council administers the appeals process on behalf of the school. Parents can complete the school’s appeal form on Lancashire County Council’s website.
Appeals
The school’s admission appeals are supported by Lancashire County Council. In the rare event that the Governing body cannot offer a school place, parents have the right to make an appeal.
This appeal should be submitted using the link below within twenty days of refusal of admission. The appeal provides you with an opportunity to explain why you wish to register your child at our school. The appeal forms and advice on how to complete is available on the Lancashire County Council website (click here).
Lancashire County Council will contact you in respect of your appeal application and inform you of the arrangements. The outcome of the appeal will be notified to you in writing.
The decision of the Independent Appeal Panel is binding to all parties, i.e. the family and the school.
Please note that this right of appeal against the Governors’ decision does not prevent you from making an appeal in respect of any other school.
