Admission into our school
If you are looking to join Purleigh Community Primary School from another school, from April 1st 2022 you must apply direct to the school and not to the Local Authority. Please use the application form below and return it to admin@Purleigh.essex.sch.uk.
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 that if a mid-year application is received during a school holiday period, we will respond as soon as possible when the school reopens.
