Admissions
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
Reception Class Admissions
Children start at Bentley St Paul’s C of E Primary School in the September after their fourth birthday. We currently admit 30 children per year.
Admissions for Reception Class places are dealt with by the Local Authority. Essex County Council does not send letters to parents/carers about making an application. All of the application information is available on the website https://www.essex.gov.uk/apply-for-a-primary-school-place.
The Admissions Arrangements and Supplementary Information Form (SIF) can be found below.
SIF forms should be returned to school by the closing date.

A mid-year admission application should be made if you are looking to change your child's school during the school year.
