Pupils Admissions

Admissions for 2021 will be made via the Local Authority website. The deadline for applications for a Y7 place in September 2020 is 31st October 2020. All other Year groups are currently full. Parents wishing to request a place in Years 8-11 should contact the school in the first instance. The Appeals procedure outline below will be explained.

For information on pupil admissions to the school please refer to the Secondary Admissions Booklet by visiting the Lancashire Secondary Admissions website.

School Charging

In accordance with the law, the school does not charge for admission, education which takes place during school hours, education which forms part of the National Curriculum, materials, books and equipment or visits taking place in school time.

Charges can be made for visits or activities during school holidays, totally outside school hours, or more than 50% of the time outside school hours. The restrictions that are placed upon charging for school activities do not prevent the school from asking for voluntary contributions.  Without these voluntary contributions many activities that are the norm for this school may not be possible.
