How do I apply for a place at Lytham St Annes High School?

Apply through the council where you live by 31 October in your child's Year 6, for a place starting the following September. You apply to your home council even if Lytham St Annes High School is in another council's area, and can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference. Offers are sent on 1 March, or the next working day.

Does living near Lytham St Annes High School guarantee a place?

No. Distance only counts when Lytham St Annes High School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
