Admissions to Kelbrook Primary School

As a community school, Kelbrook’s admission and appeal arrangements are processed by Lancashire County Council.

The school can enrol 105 pupils. A maximum of 15 places are offered annually for admission in the Reception year (EYFS). Children are admitted in the September of the academic year in which their 5th birthday occurs. If the school is oversubscribed, priority will be given to:-

1. Special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at this school.

2. Siblings already attending school.

3. Distance of home from school.

Children are admitted into other year groups where vacancies allow. If you want to apply for your child to attend our school please feel free to ring our school office to see if we have any vacancies.

Parents whose children are not offered places have the right of appeal.

If you require any further information about primary school admissions please do not hesitate to contact the school office at 01282 842309.
