Apply for a school place
If you are resident in Lancashire, you can apply online for your preferred primary or secondary schools (even if any of these are outside of the county).
Before you apply for a school place you should find out about the help and information available to you. In particular you must read the relevant information for parents:

- special schools - if you want to apply for a special school place for your child the process is different
- changing schools (in year admissions) - how to move your child to another school
