On Tuesday, April 16, school offers for primary schools under Lancashire County Council will be sent out to children living in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble.
Whilst the council takes pupils' preferences into account when allocating school places, sometimes a school offer may still come as a surprise to families and those unhappy with their allocation are able to appeal.
To help you navigate what all the schools across Preston, Chorley and South Ribble are like, we have first created this list of all the schools currently considered 'outstanding' by Ofsted.
In total there are 25 primary schools* across the area which currently hold an outstanding rating, the highest one available after good, requires improvement and inadequate.
Normally a school judged outstanding will usually be inspected within the four academic years following its last inspection, but some of these have not been inspected for a decade.
So take a look below at all the outstanding primary schools in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble, ordered by the most recent report.
*The Post has not included special independent schools in this list.
