If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
Reception 2025
The arrangements for the admission of pupils to primary schools in September 2025 (born between 1 September 2020 and 31st August 2021) will, as far as possible, conform to the following timetable.
1 September 2024 - Apply from this date
School places are not allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. All applications received up to the closing date are given equal priority, but if you miss the deadline, a late application may reduce your chance of getting your preference of school.
15 January 2025 - National closing date for primary applications (statutory).
During this period all applications are processed and all preferences are considered against the published admissions policy. Where there are more applications than places available, decisions are made as to which children should be offered the available places. We will liaise and exchange information with all other admission authorities including neighbouring local authorities. The allocation and offer of a primary school place is finalised.
16 April 2025 - Offers issued to parents
(The national offer date is 16 April, if this date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, offers are sent the next working day.)

Arrange a visit
We prefer to show you our school on a one-to-one basis and would encourage you to arrange an appointment with our headteacher. This will give you the opportunity to see a normal school day, so you can see firsthand how your children will experience Burscough Village. The tour will provide you with the opportunity to ask any specific questions regarding your child. Please email or contact the school office to arrange.
