Admissions Policy
Lancashire's Reception online admission for school admissions is a quick, easy and secure way of applying for your child's place at primary school. You can amend your application right until the deadline date. You will get an email acknowledgement once your application is submitted.
In Lancashire, all children who have their fifth birthday between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026 may start school in September 2026 if their parents / carers wish. All applications must be submitted by 15th January 2026 and offers of primary school places will be emailed on 16 April 2026.
Pupils to secondary school must apply by 31st October 2025.
At Sharneyford Primary School, our admissions number for each year group is 10. In cases where this number is exceeded, the usual Local Authority selection process applies. If a child does not receive a place in the first instance, an appeals process is available. Please visit the Lancashire County Council Appeals Website to find out more. Your appeal should be submitted using the link below within twenty days of refusal of admission. The appeal provides you with an opportunity to explain why you wish to register your child at our school. The appeal forms and advice on how to complete them is available on the Lancashire County Council website:
