General advice
We recommend that you contact the schools you are interested in directly about place availability before submitting the application.
There is no guarantee of a place at a preferred school. We advise you carefully check the availability of places at schools when considering moving house.
Please remember, moving schools is a serious step to take. You should not remove your child from his/her current school before you have an offer of another school place.

Primary schools
If your child is already at primary school and you wish to transfer him/her to a different primary school in Essex, please complete the mid-year online application. Please note that you will need to complete and submit the form in one session, it is not possible to save the form and return to it later.
Upon receipt of an application we will contact your preferred school(s) about availability of places. We expect to let you know the outcome by letter within 2 - 3 weeks of receipt of your application.
When your child has been offered a place and is on the school role, the following admissions form and home school agreement needs to be completed by all parents before children start school.

 

Parents and family of prospective pupils are very welcome to arrange a visit to view the school and meet the headteacher. Please make an appointment via the school office on 01268 523971.
