Children Starting School September 2026

If you have a child who will be starting school in September 2026 and are looking for a reception place, please contact school for a tour of the school on 01253 836280 with the headteacher. We will be happy to accommodate any number of different days when you can have a look around our lovely small church school which will fit into your daily schedule. 

Additionally, we will be hosting a 'drop in' open afternoon on Tuesday 14th October from 1pm until 5pm where you will get to meet the Headteacher and have a tour of the school. Please call school on 01253 836280 or email bursar@weeton-st-michaels.lancs.sch.uk to book a place on the open afternoon.

Should you have any questions please contact the office by emailing bursar@weeton-st-michaels.lancs.sch.uk where we will answer any questions you may have. 

For applications for children starting school in September 2026, you should apply for a place by the deadline of 15th January 2026.  Please apply online at  https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/children-education-families/schools/apply-for-a-school-place/starting-primary-school/

(if you live in Blackpool you should apply via Blackpool Council).  The applications will open in September 2025.

In-Year Admissions

In-year applications can be made at any point during the school year using our In-Year Application Form. If a place is available, it will be offered. If no places are available, your child will be added to our waiting list, and you have the right of appeal should you wish to challenge the decision.

Appeals

Appeal information applies to both routine applications for September entry and all in-year admissions. If your application for a place is unsuccessful, you may submit an appeal within twenty days of receiving the refusal of admission. The appeal process allows you to explain why you would like your child to attend our school. Appeals are administered by the Lancashire County Council Appeals Team, and both the appeal forms and guidance on completing them can be found on the Lancashire County Council website:
