Summary of policy
This is a community school. Please see the full admission details on our website - admissions criteria for community and voluntary controlled secondary schools.
To apply for a place at this school, please apply online.
When a secondary school is oversubscribed the following priorities apply in order:
A) Looked after children and those who have been previously looked after, then
B) Looked after children and those who have been previously looked after - those legally adopted from overseas, then
Children for whom the Local Authority accepts that there are exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons which are directly relevant to the school concerned, then
Children living within the school’s geographical priority area with older brothers or sisters attending the school when the younger child will start, then
Children living within the school’s geographical priority area, then
Children living outside the school’s geographical priority area with older brothers or sisters still attending the school when the younger child will start, then
Children living outside the school’s Geographical Priority Area.
Tie-breaker:
The distance criterion will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria; it is a straight line (radial) measure.
If the Local Authority is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (eg. Siblings, those living the same distance from home to school, or families residing in the same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw.
The distance measure is a straight line measurement (radial) between the applicant’s home address points and the address point of the school (co-ordinates provided by ordnance survey data).
Geographical priority area
Parishes of Farington (part of*), Leyland (part of**) and Ulnes Walton.
*The area to the east of Wheelton Lane, Centurion Way and Stanifield Lane.
**The area to the west of Worden Lane, St Andrews Way and Towngate. The area to the north of King Street and Leyland Way.
Transport
Please see the main school admissions section.
Parents in any doubt over the distance between home and school for the provision of transport are asked to check with their local area education office. This may be particularly relevant if you live close to a county border.
