Leyland in South Ribble has 16 primary schools co-ordinated by Lancashire County Council, which uses nearest-school catchment polygons for community schools. The town has seen housing growth along the A49 corridor, which has increased demand in some catchment zones - parents should use the current year's published catchment maps rather than relying on historical data, as boundaries can shift slightly when new developments are added to school rolls.

Secondary provision is more varied in Leyland, with five secondary schools including Runshaw College (a sixth-form college rather than a full secondary) and a Catholic high school with faith criteria. Lancashire co-ordinates all secondary admissions through its annual scheme; closing date is October with offers on 1 March. The catchment.school postcode lookup shows which secondaries are closest to your address and lists their last-offered distances so you can rank preferences realistically before submitting.
