Admissions
Please see our policies which relate to Reception, in year or non routine admissions.
Please contact us if you need any advice on how to apply for a school place. You can also view the Lancashire online website here
Our admissions policies for each year are below:
Applying for a place at our school during the school year (In-Year Admissions)
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 where there are available places.
To apply for a place, complete our In-Year Admissions form, and return to bursar@hornby.lancs.sch.uk
If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions, please contact us either by email as above or by phone on 01524221496.
(If our school requires any additional information we may ask you to provide further evidence along with the in-year admission form).
You may ring the school office to confirm that the form (and accompanying evidence) has been received.
Your application will be acknowledged upon receipt and we will advise you of the outcome within a maximum of 15 school days.
Where places are available, but we have more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria will be applied, to ensure the correct child/children are offered the places.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and you have the right of appeal. Please see below for appeal information. Please note, that the waiting list does NOT guarantee a place at our school and if your child is currently not in education you should either make an appeal to our school and/or apply for a place at an alternative school.

Appeals
Please contact the school office for information and advice about our appeal process.
Please note that this right of appeal against the governors’ decision does not prevent you from making an appeal in respect of any other school.
