Lancashire County Council measures the distance in a straight line (radial) between the applicant’s home address point and the address point of the school
Children who live nearest from home to school will receive priority for any criteria that are oversubscribed. If the distance between home and school is the same, which includes the same geographical property reference (such as a block of flats), random allocation is used as a tie-breaker. Lancashire County Council’s School Admissions Team will undertake the random allocation process in the presence of a school representative at the Council Offices.
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.
