Please note that the school has requested to cap our current places in Year R and Year 1 in line with infant class sizes and in order to effectively organise the classes for September 2026. 

In-year admission is the process of applying for a school place during the school year. 

The in-year admission process is managed by the school.  Parents are required to complete the in-year application form, which is available below.  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.
