There is no guarantee of a place for children living in the priority admissions area. In the event of oversubscription places will be allocated using the following criteria in the order given:

 

1. Looked After Children and previously looked after children (as defined in the Primary Education in Essex booklet)
2. Children with a sibling attending the school
3. Children living in the priority admission area
4. Remaining applicants

 

In the event of oversubscription within any of the above criteria,  priority will be determined by straight line distance from home to school, those living closest being given the highest priority.

 

Exceptional medical circumstances [supported by medical evidence] may override the above.

Reception Admissions September 2023

Applications for School Places Outside the Normal Admissions Round (Mid-year Admissions)

Please note that there is a variation to our determined Admission Policy for 2021-22 from 1 April 2022.

 

From 1 April 2022 any mid-year applications must be made directly to the school.  if there are any spaces in the year group an offer will be made.

 

All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school, using the mid-year application form available below, or via the school office.

 

Mid-Year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to a year group, apart from September admissions to Reception (primary and infant schools)/Year 3 (Junior Schools).

 

For applications into existing year groups, a place will be offered when the number of pupils in the relevant year group is below the admission number for that year group.

 

Please note:  If a mid-year application is received during a school holiday period, we will respond as soon as possible when the school reopens.

The Headteacher is always happy to show prospective parents around.  Please call the office to arrange.
