Unsuccessful applications
We will ensure that there is a school place available for all Oldham residents.
If we cannot offer you a place at any of the schools requested we will offer you a place at the nearest school to your home address which still has vacant places.
The Brian Clarke Academy, Blue Coat School, Newman College and Crompton House
All enquiries around unsuccessful applications for the above, must go directly to the schools, and not the admissions team at Oldham Council.
All appeals for The Brian Clarke Academy and The Blue Coat School MUST be sent to the school directly
Waiting lists
If you are refused admission to any of the school's you applied to we will put you on their waiting lists.
You can also ask to be put on the waiting list of any other school.
Appeals

Accept or decline
You do not need to do anything if you want to accept an offer from a school.
However, you must tell Oldham Council if you want to decline a place.
