Stanley High School follows Sefton Local Authority admissions criteria (for 2025/26). The admission number is 170 per year. When more applications than places are received, the criteria are applied in this order: 1) looked after children and all previously looked after children (including care outside England and those adopted or subject to child arrangements/special guardianship orders) and those needing specialist facilities; 2) siblings already attending the school and who will still be there in September 2026; 3) children of staff (staff employed at a Southport Learning Trust school for two+ years or recruited to fill a vacant post); 4) distance – other requests that name the school as a preference. Tie-breaker is shortest walking distance. In-year admissions are handled via Sefton Admissions.
