The distance criterion which will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria is a straight line (radial) measure. If the college is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (e.g. twins or same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw. The distance measure is a straight line (radial) measure from the centre of the college building to centre of the house or accommodation that the child resides in.
Geographical priority area
The perimeter of the priority area to the north and west is the border with Ribble Valley and Hyndburn.
The area includes all residential addresses above a line running eastwards (and within the perimeters of this priority area) from the western border with Hyndburn across the A6068 and following the centre of a link road to the works just north of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The perimeter then follows the railway line north west and turns eastwards above Low Bank and Printers Fold to join with Scott Street to the A671, Padiham Road and goes down the centre of Padiham Road to the M65. The perimeter then cuts across the M65 and follows the railway line up to the Stoneyholme area until adjacent with the two schools just above March Street. It then turns west to the M65 and follows the motorway to the Burnley border.
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.
