Before you apply

Four things worth knowing in Morecambe

    Show schools with no religious character
  2. A nursery place isn't a Reception place.

    Show schools with a nursery
  3. Apply by 15 January.

    Apply to your council for a Reception place starting in September. Offers come out on 16 April.

  4. Check how old the Ofsted grade is.

    Some grades are many years old. Each school's page shows the date of its last inspection and what's changed since.
