Apply for a secondary school place

Secondary school places for September 2020

If your child is just about to start Year 6 at primary school, you will need to apply for a place at a secondary school.

If you live in Blackpool (so if you pay your council tax to Blackpool or receive housing benefit from Blackpool Council) you should apply to Blackpool Council.

If you pay your council tax to Wyre or Fylde, then you need to apply to Lancashire County Council.

Before you complete your application, you should read the parent's information booklet, which contains the admissions criteria and details about the application process.

The closing date was 31 October 2019 so the online system is no longer available.  If you have not yet applied, you will need to complete a paper application form which is available from Blackpool School Admissions, telephone 01253 476637.

You can check the table below to see when to apply based on your child's date of birth:
