Admissions Policy

Applications for September places

All applications for September admissions to Writtle Junior School  are dealt with through the School Admissions team at Essex County Council (0345 603 2200), or visit; https://www.essex.gov.uk/admissions

We are a 2-form intake school (60 places).

Please see the criteria for applications in the 2024-25 Admissions Policy, below:

There is no guarantee of a place for children living in the priority admission area.  In the event of oversubscription places will be allocated using the following criteria in the order given:

  1. Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children;
  2. Children with a sibling attending the school or Writtle Infant School;
  3. Children living in the priority admission area:
  4. Remaining applications.

In the event of oversubscription within any of the above criteria, priority will be determined by straight line distance from home to school, those living closest being given the highest priority.

Exceptional medical circumstances (supported by medical evidence) may override the above (other than Looked After Children).

General admissions information

The Local Authority co-ordinates the school's applications for the normal admissions round and again, further information can be found at https://www.essex.gov.uk/topic/admissions
