Admissions
MID-YEAR APPLICATIONS
All mid-year applications should be made directly to St Mary's, using the mid-year application form available on our website below. Applications should be emailed to
office@st-marys-stansted.essex.sch.uk
If you do not have online access, a paper copy is available from the school office. Mid-year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to any 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. The Published Admission Number (PAN) for our school is 45 children in a 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.
Applications should be submitted no sooner than half a term before the planned start date. We will endeavour to reply to your application within no more than three school days. Where a place is not available to your child, they will automatically be added to a waiting list which is held in accordance with the school’s admissions criteria which can be found in the Admissions Policies below.
Appeals are co-ordinated via Essex County Council and further information can be found at Essex Appeals
