School applications

We've matched the postcode to Lancashire.

You apply through this education local authority even if the school is in another council area.

Lancaster is the district council. School applications go through Lancashire.

Last published allocation

None of the schools listed here has a published last-distance figure, so we cannot compare a postcode with last year's allocation. We do not draw catchment maps in this list; where we hold a council's map, it is on the school's page.
