Applying for a place at our academy during the school year

In-year admissions are admissions to school that take place outside the normal admissions rounds i.e. Reception and Year 7

If you are new to the area and require a school place or if you already reside in the area and you want to move your child from their current local school to our school, your application should be made directly to our school and the child will be admitted where there are available places.

To apply for a place, complete our In-Year Admissions form and return to:

Pendle Primary Academy

Walter Street

Brierfield

Nelson

BB9 5AW

office@pendleprimaryacademy.co.uk

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions, please contact us either by email at office@pendleprimaryacademy.co.uk or by phone on 01282 615927.

Your application will be acknowledged upon receipt and we will advise you of the outcome within a maximum of 15 days.

Where places are available, but we have more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria (which can be found in the Determined Admissions Policy for 2025-26 PDF below) will be applied, to ensure the correct child/children are offered the places.

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and you have the right to appeal.  Please click here for appeal information.  Please note, that the waiting list does not guarantee a place at our school and if your child is currently not in education you should either make an appeal to our school and/or apply for a place at an alternative school.
