School Admissions
Admissions to Holy Family Catholic Primary School
As a one form entry Catholic Primary school, Governors will admit up to 30 pupils per class. Should the number of requests for places exceed this, places will be allocated according to the oversubscription criteria in the school's Admissions Policy below.
If you are seeking a place at Holy Family from another Blackpool school and we have notified you of a free place, please complete the attached Transfer form. Please note that this needs to be signed by the Head Teacher of the Blackpool school your child currently attends.

If our school has reached capacity for the year group that you seek, you do have the right to appeal for a place. The form for appeal is attached below. Complete the form and return it to school, who will send this information on to the Blackpool schools' appeal panel. The panel will meet, along with chool and the applicant, to decide whether an extra place will be granted.
