Admissions
Admission Arrangements
Information about admission for EYFS is set out on the ECC website. This will tell you all you need to know about Admissions. All children in Reception are admitted during the Autumn (September) Term, as this gives all children a full three years of infant education.
Enrolment
Essex County Council oversee all decisions on school admissions for EYFS. They request that you complete an on-line application at the appropriate time and within the time frame given. This is also available on the link above.
Prospective Parent Tours
These take place in the Autumn term and are for prospective new parents as they consider their primary school options. Tours are during the school day and where possible, are conducted by the Executive Head or Deputy Head .Time is allocated at the end of each tour for any general questions. We will also provide the opportunity for prospective parents to meet privately if they have any specific questions or more sensitive questions regarding their child.
For mid year applications, a 20 minute tour is offered by an available member of staff.
Mid-Year Applications
All mid-year applications must be made directly to the school. If there are spaces in the year group an offer will be made. For more information please email admin@chappel.essex.sch.uk
