Places offered and first preferences: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school level, Open Government Licence). "Put it first, not offered it" is DfE's number of first preferences less its number of first-preference offers. Applicants refused: Lancashire's own offer-day tables, where we hold them; "not held" means we do not have the figure, not that it was nought.

Moving to Lancashire mid-year

Apply to the council for most schools; some schools take applications directly. The county council's local area education offices coordinate in-year admissions for community and voluntary controlled schools. Voluntary aided and foundation schools, academies and free schools coordinate their own in-year admissions and are applied to directly; the council links lists of each type.

  • Decision: "We'll acknowledge receipt of your application and then write to you with the outcome within approximately 15 school days"
  • Proof of address: "Proof of residence may be requested at any time throughout the admissions process."

From Lancashire's own in-year admissions page (Not stated.): read it there before you apply, as arrangements change each year.

How in-year applications work everywhere: Moving mid-year.
