Education Authority will provide you with their application form and guide

The school will rank all applicants against its admissions criteria by using
the Supplementary Information Form. Applicants who currently live outside of
England should contact Essex County Council's Education Authority (Tel 00 44

Supplementary Information Form and return it to the school.

to look around the school. During the evening there will be a Headteachers'
Talk. Tickets for this

Notes
·
Applications
should be made to your home Local Education Authority using their form and
placing this school as your first preference if that is your choice.
·
You must also complete the
school’s supplementary information form and send it directly to the school
by the published deadline.
· The
school’s Admissions Panel use the supplementary information form to rank
applicants in order of their correspondence to the admissions criteria.
·
This
list is then sent to Essex LEA who match offers from this and other schools
so that parents gain their first choice school if possible or the highest
offer compared to the list of preferences made by the parents.
·
The rank order provided by each
school is applied until all places are filled.
·
The LEAs are expected to
co-ordinate these admissions so that applicants from outside of Essex are
treated equally and notified properly.
·
There
is no way of “playing the system” in this new national admissions
arrangements, it is essential that parents place their order of preference
with their first choice first.
·
School’s do not know your order
of preference but if you have applied to us and been given an offer to
another school and want to know how your application was dealt with here
PLEASE CONTACT US, we will be able to tell you if your application
was ranked higher than anyone else who was admitted.
·
All unsuccessful applications
will remain on the waiting list until September.
Anyone wishing to remain on the waiting
list after that date must notify the school before 1st September.
·
Applications
received after the closing date will be considered but parents should be
aware that late applications are likely to be unsuccessful due to the
filling of places in the first round.
·
The
school recognises that people moving into the area may not have had an
opportunity to apply within the deadline and such applications are
considered in line with Government guidance.
·
Schools
in the Brentwood area remind parents that all of the schools are likely to
be over subscribed and parents are advised to apply to more than one school.
·
Applications
should be made on the school admissions form.
· Applications
should be received on hard copy but initial applications can be received by
e-mail from overseas applicants only.
·
As
a comprehensive school we do not hold interviews with prospective Year 7
parents or pupils to ensure equality of opportunity for each applicant.
·
Applicants with limited skills
in the English language are encouraged to ask for help and if possible an
interpreter will be made available.
