Reception 2028 -admissions consultation

We are planning to reduce our Pupil Admission Number (PAN) for admission for the academic year 2028-29.  Please see our consultation letter below. Our consultation process will run from 6th November 2026 to 18th December 2026. Details of how to respond are in the letter.

Joining Mid-Year

Mid-year applications are any application for a school place made to a year group apart from starting Reception.

All mid-year applications should be made directly to the Academy, using the mid-year application form below:

For applications into existing year groups, a place will be offered when the number of pupils in the relevant year group is below the published admission number for that year group.

Are you within our priority catchment area?

If you are unsure, check your address on the Essex priority admissions area finder.

Admissions Criteria:

1. Looked After Children and previously looked after children (as defined in the Primary Education in Essex 2026/2027 booklet).
2. Children living in the priority admissions area with a sibling attending the academy
3. Children (natural or adopted) who can prove they have a parent working at the academy
4. Other children living in the priority admissions area
5. Children living outside the priority admissions area with a sibling attending the school
6. 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. Straight line distances are calculated by the LA as described on page 11 of the Primary Education in Essex booklet.

Exceptional medical circumstances (supported by medical evidence) may override the above (other than criterion 1) if, in the view of the Governing Body, The Flitch Green Academy is the only local school that can meet the child’s needs.

Appeals:

Please see the timetable below for details on the academy’s appeals process for those children starting school in September 2026.
