When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Where there are more applications than places available within a category, priority will be given on the basis of proximity to the school. The distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre. In the event of a tied distance measurement between address points the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s). In the case of flats, the flat nearest the ground floor will be deemed the nearest. Apartments in the same block will be treated equally with the measurement taken to the main entrance of the block. If after applying the distance tie-breaker there are more applications than places in the apartment block furthest away, a further tie-breaker of random allocation will be used for the applications in this block.
Priority admission area comprises Accrington, Huncoat, Baxenden, Clayton-Le-Moors, Church and Oswaldtwistle. In the event of oversubscription, places will be offered first to those living in the priority admission area using the listed criteria.
Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
