Parents who wish their children to be admitted to Chigwell Row Infant School should apply directly to your own local authority admissions service. We have many children from outside of Essex, for example from Redbridge, Havering and Barking Dagenham. Your own local authority will then send your application through to Essex Admissions .The School's Published Admission Number is 15.
Essex County Council allocate places based on the following criteria:- Looked after children
- Children with a sibling attending the school
- Children living in the priority admission area
- Remaining applications
Children whose 5th birthday falls between 1st September & 31st August will be admitted full time in September. Children are integrated into the Reception class for half a day for the first two weeks of the Autumn term before attending school full time.
