Admissions
Thank you for your interest in a place at Roseacres Primary School.
Annually in the second half of the autumn term, we offer an open evening to prospective parents for entry to the Reception class (this will be advertised nearer the time on this page) and tours to Mid-year admissions during the year by request. A virtual tour has been made available covering key aspects of the school which our Y6 children helped to produce.
I would also encourage you to look at our gallery, newsletters and the class page blogs for information about the learning and other experiences at Roseacres.
As of 1st April 2022 mid-year applications to the school should be made direct using the form below - DO NOT APPLY VIA ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL. The Essex Local Authority only coordinate admission applications for a school place in Reception for a September intake.
Prospective Parents Application Dates:
- Reception Intake for Academic year 2025-26. Online admissions open week commencing 4th November 2024 and the admission round closing date is set and advised by the Essex Local Authority as 15th January 2025. Essex Local Authority offer letters are expected to be issued on 16th April 2025. Please refer to the Essex Local Authority documentation for confirmation of the dates.
- Other year groups Y1- Y6 : we are only able to admit pupils who are in years Y1-Y6 where there is space to do so (maximum class size 30). This is known as a mid-year admission and should be made directly to the school using the application form below.
Essex Local Authority Contact Details and Useful Links:
Following your mid-year application to the school you will sent a letter to confirm the outcome of your request, e.g. offer or refuse a place. If a place is offered, you should contact the school office to make an appointment to see the head teacher, have a tour of the school and collect the school admission forms. These must be returned with your child’s (long) birth certificate prior to a date being agreed for your child/ren to start.
