Admissions

​We have a standard admission number of 17 for each year group.

Essex County Council is the admission authority for St George's. This means that the council sets the oversubscription criteria and makes the decisions as to which pupils are admitted to our school.

In the event of oversubscription any remaining places will be allocated by Essex County Council using the following criteria in the order given:

1. Looked After Children and previously looked after children (as defined in the the Primary Education in Essex booklet);
2. Children with a sibling at the school;
3. Children living in the priority admission area;
4. Remaining applications.

In the event of oversubscription within any of the above criteria, priority will be determined 
by straight line distance from home to school, those living closest being given the highest 
priority. Exceptional medical circumstance (supported by medical evidence) may override 
the above.
