Admissions
Admissions September 2027
For children due to start school in September 2027, the application opens on the 2nd November 2026 and closes on 15th January 2027.
Applications received after the closing date are treated as late applications. This means there will be far less chance of your child being offered a place at the school you want.
Take the time to read Thurrock’s primary admissions brochure and then follow the instructions for applying.
All reception class pupils start school in September and are offered a full time place which they are gradually introduced to.
Admission Policy and Process
All parents who wish their children to attend our school must apply to Thurrock Council’s Admissions Department early in the year (a date is published) preceding the Academic Year that the child is due to be admitted into school. The Local Authority encourage applications to be made on the Thurrock Council Website: https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/primary-school-admissions/applying-for-primary-school-place
Admissions during an academic year are called In-year admissions. Applications forms and further details about in-year admission should be made directly to the local authority here: https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/in-year-admissions/applying-in-year

All parents who wish their children to attend our nursery must apply to the school. Application packs are available from the school office.
Admission to nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception class. The Local Authority manages admission for statutory age children and must be applied for separately to Thurrock Council and received by their cut-off date.
