Parents will be invited to state on the Common Application Form the names of up to three secondary schools in priority order and this order of preferences will be crucial.

Who is eligible to apply?
The Governors welcome applications to the school from the parents of boys who will be age 11 years on entry. Applications will also be accepted and considered for admission to the First Form from parents of boys age under 11 years on 31 August in the year of transfer. However, the Governors will require evidence of exceptional academic ability, together with adequate social and physical development to enable such boys to benefit from accelerated entry.
Priority is given to the sons of parents living within the boundaries of the Administrative City of Lancaster and all those from this area who reach the qualifying standards are offered places. The remaining dayboy places (out of 112 total) are then allocated to qualifiers from outside this area: where there are more qualifiers than residual places a further selection is needed.
