Primary School Admissions (for Reception September 2022)

You can apply for a Reception school place at an Essex primary school between 8th November 2021 and 15th January 2022.   Applications received after this date will be considered as late and not dealt with until after National Offer Day in April 2022.

Before you apply, you should:

• check that you live in the Essex administrative area https://secureweb1.essex.gov.uk/CAS/Priority-Admissions-(Catchment)-Area.aspx
• read the primary admissions booklet https://www.essex.gov.uk/admissions-booklets-policies-and-forms/admission-booklets

Once an application has been made, parents will be contacted by Planning and Admissions and informed of whether there is a place available for their child at their chosen school.  If the application has been successful, parents should then contact our school office to finalise arrangements for their child to start. 

After your school offer

If your child is not offered a place at your preferred school, you can appeal against the decision.

You will receive a letter with the appeal hearing date within 30 school days for mid-year appeals and 40 school days for normal admission round appeals.
