If you would like your child to join our Reception class during September admissions, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. We have also included below a link to the Essex Admissions website.
Applying for a mid-year place at our school
All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school office. The mid-year application form can be obtained by emailing or calling the school admin@waterlane.essex.sch.uk or 01279 417410. Mid-year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to a year group, apart from September admissions to Reception.
For applications into existing year groups, a place will be offered when the number of pupils in the relevant year group is below the admission number for that year group.
Please note: if a mid-year application is received during a school holiday period, we will respond as soon as possible when the school reopens.
