Admission Arrangements
Queen Boudica School’s admissions are determined by the Local Education Authority . Children normally attend school full-time in the September following their fourth birthday. All primary schools must offer children a full-time place at the start of the Autumn term in September. However, legally a child does not have to start full-time education until the term after their fifth birthday. Once you have accepted a place for your child the attendance rules and expectations will apply regardless of thier age.
Information on how the arrangements work can be found on the Essex County Council School Admissions website. These include the selection and over subscription criteria, a statement of our current published admission number (PAN), and the process for applications and appeals.
