Admissions
Applications for admission to the school for September 2026 should be made on the home Local Authority’s common application form between 1st September 2025 and 15th January 2026. It is not normally possible to change the order of your preferences for schools after the closing date.
Parents must complete their home Local Authority application form, stating three preferences. Residents can apply online using the button below. For families who are unable to apply online, application forms can be requested from, and returned to, the school or appropriate area office, the address of which is available at the school. All parents returning application forms to school must receive a receipt of submission.
Parents who wish their application to this Church school to be considered against the faith criteria must also complete the Supplementary Form. If the school is oversubscribed, a failure to complete the Supplementary Form will result in your application for a place in this school being considered against lower priority criteria as the Governing Board will have no information upon which to assess the worship attendance.
The Supplementary Information Form must be completed at the time of application and is available below. The Supplementary Information Form must be returned directly to the school by 15th January 2026 if parents wish their application to be considered against faith criteria.
Emails informing parents of whether or not their child has been allocated a place will be sent out by the Local Authority on 16th April 2026. Parents of children not admitted will be informed of the reason and offered an alternative place by the Authority. Parents applying by hard copy forms will be informed by letter.
In-Year Admissions
In-Year Admissions are admissions to school that take place outside the normal admissions rounds (ie Reception and Year 7).
If you are new to the area and require a school place or if you already reside in the area and you want to move your child from their current local school to our school, your application should be made directly to our school and the child will be admitted where there are available places.
To apply for a place, complete our In-Year Admissions form, and return to: bursar@st-peterscofe.lancs.sch.uk.
If you would like your application to be considered under our faith criteria, in addition to the In-Year Admissions form, please also complete a church reference form (supplementary form). Copies of both forms are available on this page of our website or from the school office.
If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions, please contact us either by email at bursar@st-peterscofe.lancs.sch.uk or by phone on 01772 864550.
