St Michael's Primary School And Nursery
INCLUDE INSPIRE ACHIEVE
Admissions
Essex County Council is responsible for handling all applications for admission to our school. Our admission policy is as follows:
There is no guarantee of a place for children living in the priority admissions area. In the event of over subscription places will be allocated using the following criteria in the order given:
- Looked After Children and previously looked after children
- Children with a sibling attending the school
- Children attending the nursery at the school who are eligible for service premium
- Children living in the priority admissions area
- Remaining applicants.
Pupils who cannot be admitted to St Michael's Primary School will be offered admission to the nearest available school, taking account of parental preference and the admission criteria for those schools.
Admission to St Michael's is administered centrally and impartially by the planning and admission section of Essex County Council. Applications for places in the Reception class for the beginning of the new academic year are now usually made on-line. Essex County Council sends out information to parents in October of the preceding year. Provided families are registered with a local doctor the information will be transferred automatically from Health Authority to Essex County Council and no action should be necessary on the part of the parents. Parents of children due to start school in September who do not receive the common entry form by the previous October should contact the Planning and Admissions Section at PO Box 4261, County Hall, Chelmsford, CM1 1GS or telephone 0845 603 2200 or e-mail admissions@essex.gov.uk
