Admissions

 

Since April 1st 2022, all mid year admissions must be made directly through the school.

Children join the Reception class at the beginning of the school year in which they are five (children born on and between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021 would normally join in September 2025). If you are an Essex resident you must apply for your child’s school place via Essex County Council’s website. The online application system will open on 10th November 2025 and the closing date for applications is 15th January 2026. Offers of places will be sent on 16th April 2026. Once a child has been offered a place in one of our Reception classes, parents are invited to transition meetings at the school.

All visits are warmly welcomed, please arrange through the school office.

Please see below for details of our school admission policy.  

Mid year admission forms are available below and must be returned to our admissions email address: admissions@felmore-pri.essex.sch.uk 

You will receive confirmation of all received application forms.

You can apply to change your child's school during the school year. This is called a mid-year admission.

If you are moving to a new house, you need to provide proof of your new address with your application.

If your child has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, you need to contact the Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) service. You can access this service here.
