Admissions
Thank you for considering Adlington St Paul's CE Primary School for your child.
Picking this school is one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding my child. My child has SEND and is supported and encouraged in every aspect. My child is thriving and is truly happy at St Paul’s. I can honestly say that I would recommend St Paul’s to everyone. Thank you to all the staff for going above and beyond. Parent Voice 2024

Applications for primary and secondary school is opened from Sunday 1st September 2024. The link to apply is www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools.
The closing date for Primary School Applications is 15th January 2025.
If you need to make a late application, please contact the Local Area Office.
**Please print off and complete the Supplementary Form and return this to school before the closing date**.
In-Year Admissions / Non-routine Admissions
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 arrange to visit the school. They will be provided with an application form. 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 consider the application and information about how to appeal against the refusal will be provided.
