Paul Bainbridge, Lancashire County Council’s head of school admissions, said: “If a family already has a child at a school, it’s easy to overlook the obvious – that they must apply for a place for their younger child.

“Places are likely to be tight in some areas, and we know how important it is to parents to get the right school for their child, so we’re encouraging them to apply on time to give themselves the best chance.”

Full details on how to apply for a primary school place for your child are on the Lancashire County Council website.
