Reception Place Application

The Local Authority co-ordinates the school’s applications for the normal admissions round.  Parents whose children will be five during the period 1^st September 2023 to 31^st August 2024 wishing to apply for a place at this school can find further information at Essex County Council School Admissions.

Parents will be required to complete both the County’s Common Admission Form and our Supplementary Information Form (S.I.F.). The Supplementary Information Form will need to be returned to the school before 15^th January 2023, as this enables the school’s Admissions Committee to ensure that places are allocated according to our Admissions Policy.

Mid-Year Application

All mid-year applications (also known as in-year applications), should be made directly to the school, using our mid-year application form available to download HERE or from the school office.  Mid-year applications are any application for a school place made to any year group, apart from September admissions to Reception. 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.

Please return your completed application by post or email to:
