# Alternatives to Lowca Community School

The 6 nearest schools that admit children at the same age as Lowca Community School and that we hold figures for, ordered by distance. This is not a league table and nothing here says one school is better than another.

"1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate, and a dash means the figure is not held.

"SEN provision on site" means the school runs a SEN unit or a resourced provision. It does not say how many children it takes or which kinds of need it is set up for, because neither is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council.
