Mid-Year Admissions

For most schools, you will need to apply directly to the school. For some schools, you can apply online via the Local Authority please click here.

All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school, using the mid-year application form available on our website below.

Mid-year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to a year group (please see guidance notes below).

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.

Appeals are co-ordinated via Essex County Council and further information can be found at Essex Appeals
