How places are decided at Preesall Fleetwood's Charity Church of England Primary School

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.

1Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children & Special Medical or Social Circumstances — (a) Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children: This means a 'looked after child' or a child who was previously 'looked after' but ceased to be looked after because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, including those who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. (b) Children with special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at this school. Professional supporting evidence from a professional, e.g. a doctor, psychologist, social worker, is essential if admission is to be made under the criterion for special medical or social circumstances, and such evidence must set out the particular reasons why the school in question is the only school where these needs can be met and the difficulties which would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Parents must submit this evidence to the school by 15th January 2026, if they wish their application to be considered under this criterion.
2Siblings — Children who have a sibling attending the school on the date of application and on the date of admission. Siblings include full, step, half, foster, adopted brothers and sisters and children of parent or carer's partner. In all cases both children should be living in the same family unit at the same address.
3Children within the United Benefice of Over Wyre Churches — Children whose parents live within the United Benefice of Over Wyre Churches: A map showing the boundaries is available in school or on the school website: www.fleetwoods.lancs.sch.uk. a) Children with a parent/guardian worshipping in a church in full membership of Churches Together in England. 'Parental worshipping' will be taken to mean a minimum of monthly attendance at church at public worship for at least the twelve months leading up to the 1st September 2026. In the event that during the period specified for attendance at worship the church has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship, the requirements of these admissions arrangements in relation to attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship. The governors will request confirmation of this from the relevant member of the clergy or church officer. The lists of Churches can be found on the Churches Together in England website at cte.org.uk; lists are taken as on 1st September 2026. Churches in membership of the equivalent bodies to CTE in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are equally accepted. b) Other children.
4Children outside the United Benefice of Over Wyre Churches – worshipping — Children whose parents live outside the United Benefice of Over Wyre Churches: Children with a parent/guardian worshipping in a church in membership of Churches Together in England. Defined as above.
5Children of staff — Children of staff who have been employed in the school for the whole of the two years prior to the closing date for applications, or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. This applies to all staff, full and part time, who are employed in the school.
6Other children — Other children.

If two applications tie: Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, then 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. Where two addresses have the same distance, or the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).

Criterion 1 combines two sub-criteria (LAC/PLAC and special medical/social circumstances) under the same rank. Criterion 3 also contains a sub-category 3b 'Other children' within the United Benefice area. The document header references 'Admissions 2026 – Lancashire Arrangements' but the policy is explicitly stated as being for September 2027.

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.
