Admission Arrangements

Voluntary Controlled

4 – 11 Church of England

DfES Number: 881-3018

Published admission number 2021/22: 30

The admission arrangements for a school are the full set of arrangements which set out how a school will admit pupils.

This includes the published admission number (the maximum number of pupils intended to be admitted to the relevant year group), the oversubscription criteria and information on waiting lists.

Essex County Council is the admission authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in Essex. This means that the council sets the oversubscription criteria and makes the decisions as to which pupils are admitted to these schools.

The full determined admission arrangements and further information on applying for a school place can be found on the Essex County Council website:

Those wishing to apply for a place at Boxted St Peter’s are welcome to attend our open mornings. The next one is on 6th November. 9:30 am – 11:30 am.

Admissions

Boxted St Peter’s CEVC Primary is a ‘single-form entry’ school. This means we have one class in each year group. Classes are limited to a maximum of 30 children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 (like all schools), and classes in Years 3 to 6 will not exceed this, wherever possible.

It is a parent/carer’s responsibility to apply for a school place.  We have no control over our admissions and these are all handled on our behalf by the local authority.  Essex County Council no longer send letters to remind you of this.  All applications for school places must be made to Essex County County.  Additionally, if you wish to apply for a school place mid-year, you will need to do this through the Essex County Council School Admissions Procedure.
