Schools in the BB1 postcode district

Blackburn

The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

Demand for places in BB1

Across the 26 schools here with figures, the middle one drew 0.92 first preferences for every place it offered. 8 of 26 were named first by more families than they had places.

Demand is not admission. A school can be named first by far more families than it has places and still admit every applicant living in its catchment. Nothing on this page says anything about property values, and no figure here should be read as evidence about them.

Published admission zones covering BB1

163 of 1,310 live postcodes in this district (12%) fall inside at least one published admission zone. Being inside a zone is not an offer: it is one criterion among several, applied in a year we may not hold.

Zone	School	Phase	Postcodes here
Ribblesdale School	Ribblesdale School	secondary	110
Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School	Rhyddings	secondary	52
Haslingden High School and Sixth Form	Haslingden High School and Sixth Form	secondary	1

"Postcodes here" counts the postcodes in BB1 that fall inside the area. It does not count the whole area. A postcode can sit inside more than one area at a time. For example, a normal school area and a church school area can overlap.
