Important dates

Information for parents about applying for reception places for September 2027. All admissions to Lytham Hall Park Primary School are handled through Lancashire County Council.

The arrangements for the admission of pupils to primary schools in September 2027 will, as far as possible, conform to the following timetable.

Tuesday 1 September 2026 - 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.

Friday 15 January 2027 - 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.

Friday 16 April 2027 - 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.)
