We warmly encourage families considering one of our Catholic schools to apply for a place for their child.

All applications for school places must be submitted through the Lancashire County Council admissions process. However, for Catholic families, it is essential that you also complete and return the school's Supplementary Information Form (SIF). This form enables the school to apply its Catholic admissions criteria and helps ensure that Catholic applicants from our parish are considered appropriately for places.

Completed Supplementary Information Forms should be returned directly to the school you are applying for.

To make the process as straightforward as possible, please scan the QR code below to visit the Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Multi Academy Trust admissions page.

(or visit https://www.mecmat.org/our-schools/admissions-appeals-process).

From there, you can access detailed admissions information and the individual admissions pages for each of our Catholic schools.

Please also refer to the application timeline table below for key dates and deadlines for both primary and secondary school applications. We look forward to welcoming new families into our Catholic school communities
