Admission Arrangements

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 if there are available places.

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.
Copies of both forms are available under the tabs below.

To apply for a place, complete our In-Year Admissions form and return to bursar@poultonstchadsce.lancs.sch.uk

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions, please click on the class sizes tab below. If this is anything in which we can offer please contact us either by email bursar@poultonstchadsce.lancs.sch.uk or by phone on 01253 883639.

Our in-year admission application form is available here.

The appeal process is the same for both routine applications for September and in-year admissions, and the school’s admission appeals are supported by Lancashire County Council.

Where the governors are unable to offer a place because the school is over subscribed, parents have the right to appeal to an independent admission appeal panel. Your appeal should be submitted using the link below within twenty days of refusal of admission. The appeal provides you with an opportunity to explain why you wish to register your child at our school. The appeal forms and advice on how to complete them is available on the Lancashire County Council website:
