We adhere to the Admissions Code when processing enquiries and applications for in-year applications. See extract from the Schools Admissions Code below, relating specifically to In-Year Admissions. Please feel free to contact the Headteacher who will be able to guide you through the process. 

Application forms are available on request. Written applications should be addressed to the Appeals Committee and delivered to the school office.  We will also accept email applications which should be sent to: head@st-chads.lancs.sch.uk
