Once your application has been submitted and processed, you will receive an offer of a primary school place on the primary National Offer Day on 16th April 2023 from Blackpool council. The academy will be advised of the allocations and we will then contact you to detail the next steps in joining our school.
If your child is moving school:
Applications for entry to the academy from another school (known as in-year applications) should be made directly to Blackpool Council via the school admission team (see contact details below). Only when a space becomes available can we offer a place according to our criteria. In line with Blackpool policy we can only accept admissions from other Blackpool primary schools at the start of a new term.
