How many schools are there in Thornton-Cleveleys?
The Department for Education's official Get Information about Schools register lists 12 open schools with a Thornton-Cleveleys address (as of 5 June 2026), including 10 primary and 1 secondary schools.

Does living in Thornton-Cleveleys guarantee a place at these schools?
No. Each school's admissions are governed by its own policy and the local authority's coordinated process. Distance is often a tie-breaker behind criteria like siblings, faith and catchment, so being nearby helps but never guarantees a place. Always check the school's current admissions policy and last year's cut-off distance.

How do I check the distance from a home to a school in Thornton-Cleveleys?
