Admissions

The closing date for applications is 31st October 2024

The National Offer date for schools is 1st March 2025. Offer emails/letters are sent to all Essex resident applicants from Essex County Council confirming the outcome of their application.

The number intended to admit is a maximum of 270 pupils in the year.

In the event of oversubscription, places will be allocated using the criteria as set out in the Admissions policy 2025/26 below.

Straight line distance between the home and school will be used as a tie breaker, with those living closest to the school having highest priority. Distance will be measured using the Local Authority's Geographical Information System.

All mid-year applications for admission to Helena Romanes School must be submitted to the school directly. Once a place has been allocated, the school will contact the family.
