Appeals
We always advise that you speak to the Headteacher first before submitting an appeal for a place, this is to ensure you have all the necessary information prior to deciding on whether to make an appeal or not.
All Key Stage One classes are bound by class size prejudice, which means that legally schools cannot take more than 30 children into an infant class unless there are exceptional circumstances. e.g. Children Looked After or Looked After Child.
Key Stage Two classes are not bound by class size prejudice, although we as a school, will make a case against an increase in class sizes in order to ensure high quality education can be provided to all.
If you have not been awarded a place in Foundation Stage and you wish to make an appeal for entry into Foundation Stage in September, please contact Lancashire County Council directly:

If you wish to make an In-Year Appeal, please contact school directly. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork. Once completed school will submit this to the Local Authority Appeals Team.
School uses the Local Authority Appeals Team to organise appeal hearings and paperwork. They will contact you directly with the time and date of your appeal hearing. Please note that due to the high volume of calls and emails submitted to the Local Authority Appeals Team, they need to prioritise all enquiries and will try and respond to your requests within 5 working days wherever possible.
The current proposals for Admission Appeals to be heard in line with the DFE.
