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: Straight-line (radial) distance between the Ordnance Survey address points of the home and the school; a random draw where applicants cannot be distinguished.
Lancashire County Council is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools and determines ONE policy covering them all. CORRECTION 2026-09-13: this row previously carried the admission policy of Trinity Church of England/Methodist Primary School, Buckshaw Village (URN 135860, Chorley) — a different school — together with that school's PAN of 90. Both were replaced with Lancashire's determined community/VC arrangements and the PAN of 30 printed for "Skelmersdale Trinity C/E/Methodist Primary School [VC]", school no. 08038, in the council's determined primary admission arrangements for 2027/2028.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
