Schools in Fleetwood
Fleetwood has 10 schools — 7 primaries and 2 secondaries — all co-ordinated by Lancashire County Council. Four schools have a religious character, split between Roman Catholic and Church of England, so faith-based oversubscription criteria apply at nearly half of Fleetwood's schools. Catholic schools typically require a baptismal certificate as part of the supplementary information form.
One school is currently at or above published capacity. Lancashire County Council operates a six-preference application system, and parents are encouraged to list schools in genuine order of preference. The council publishes its co-ordinated scheme and admissions maps online, with secondary offers on 1 March and primary offers on 16 April.
