CONFIRMATION OF PRIMARY OFFERS

For September 2024 offers will be confirmed online only for all those who apply on Lancashire's online system (this was around 95% of applicants the previous year). For those who do not receive a first preference offer, links to reserve list and appeal forms will be available.

Lancashire's online system will go live on the morning when places are released (16th April 2024) and will allow online applicants to view their school offer. Please be patient as around 13,000 applicants may be trying to access information.

 

IMPORTANT

Please return the supplementary form to the school of your choice (if applicable) & ensure you apply online too.

On our OUR OPEN EVENING we invite prospective parents to come & have a look around school once our children have left for the day.  This will be held on Wednesday 1st November at 6:30 pm.  There is no need to book an appointment; just come along at 6:30 pm to hear our headteacher talk & our senior leaders too.  We look forward to meeting you.
