Mid Year Admissions:
Please phone the school to enquire about any spaces in year groups.
As of the 1st April 2022, all Mid-Year Applications should be made directly to the School. Either contact the Office on 01279 424122 or email admin.williammartin@dcvst.org and they will be happy to help!
If offered a place at the school, a senior member of staff will be happy to give you an induction tour of the school with your child, and hold an induction meeting to ensure your child’s transition into their new school will be as smooth as possible.
Induction Process
Schools may offer a part time induction process over a period of three days to four weeks to support children’s transition into school.
We have decided that this is best practice, and have found that this supports a successful and happy transition for children into their new school.
If offered a place at the school, an induction meeting will be arranged with a senior member of staff, who will be happy to provide a tour of the school with your child, provide parents with lots of information about the school and give parents the opportunity to share information about their child to ensure their child’s transition into their new school will be as smooth as possible.
All parents/carers will then be provided with a ‘staggered induction timetable’ on how their child will transition into school.
If your child is in Year 6 and you want to apply for a Year 7 place in Secondary School:
If your child is not offered a place at your preferred school, you can appeal against the decision. To find out more information go to the Essex Admissions appeals website.
