Admissions and Prospectus
Our Admissions policy and Prospectus are listed below. Please click on the text or PDF icon, then click 'open in a new tab' to view.
Please note:
Non-routine or in-year admissions are administered by the Governing Body at St Oswald’s
It sometimes happens that a child needs to change school other than at the “normal” time; such admissions are known as non-routine or in-year admissions. Parents wishing their child to attend this school should call on 01254 667222 to arrange to visit the school. They will be provided with an application form once they have a definite local address. If there is a place in the appropriate class, then the governors will arrange for the admission to take place. If there is no place, then the admissions committee will provide information about how to appeal. Appeals for children moving into the area will not be considered until there is evidence of a permanent address, e.g. exchange of contracts or tenancy agreement with rent book. We do not operate a waiting list system for non-routine admissions.
Please note that you cannot re-apply for a place at a school within the same school year unless there has been relevant, significant and material change in the family circumstances
We are aware that applications for our school come from children who live in Lancashire and children who live in Blackburn.
Applications to our school need to be made through the local authority where you live (where you pay your council tax) The links below will help:
