Great Berry Admissions
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
We are pleased to be able to once again offer tours of the school for prospective parents of children due to start school in September 2026. The tours will start on Tuesday 23rd September and then will run most Wednesday mornings or afternoons throughout the autumn term. Please telephone the School Office to book a place or email Mrs Inman on admissions@greatberry.essex.sch.uk to book a place
Applying for a mid-year place at our school:
All mid-year applications should be made directly to the academy, using the mid-year application form available either using the link below or asking for a copy from the school office. Mid-year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to a year group, apart from September admissions to Early Years (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.
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.
Our updated admission policy documents have also been added below
