Lancashire's online system will go live on the morning when places are released (17th April 2023) and will allow online applicants to view their school offer. Please be patient as around 13,000 applicants may be trying to access information.

On our Open Afternoon & 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 Thursday 20th October).  There is no need to book an appointment; just come along at either 2:00 pm or 6:30 pm.  We look forward to meeting you.
