Other local authorities<br />

If you live in another local authority, your application will be dealt with by your home<br />

authority. This is the local authority that collects your council tax. This applies<br />

whether you want a school in your home authority or in <strong>Wigan</strong>. You should contact<br />

your home authority’s school admissions service for information about how <strong>to</strong> apply.<br />

If you live outside <strong>Wigan</strong>, we will consider your application as being on time if it has<br />

been received by the closing date set by your home local authority. We will consider<br />

your request for a place at a <strong>Wigan</strong> school as long as you have put a <strong>Wigan</strong> school<br />

down as a first, second or third preference.<br />

If any of your preferences are for a <strong>Wigan</strong> voluntary-aided (church) school we<br />

strongly advise you <strong>to</strong> fill in the school’s own information form as well as your home<br />

local authority application form. If you do not fill in the school’s own supplementary<br />

information form, the school will not have all the information they need <strong>to</strong> consider<br />

your application against their faith criteria and your child may not be given a place.<br />

You can get a copy of the school’s own supplementary information form:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

from the school;<br />

by calling the <strong>Wigan</strong> <strong>School</strong> Places Team on 01942 486037; or<br />

by downloading one from our website.<br />

Please return filled-in information forms for <strong>Wigan</strong> schools <strong>to</strong> the individual school.
