We offer a morning Nursery for children who have turned 3 years old.  Sessions are every morning between 08:45-11:45 and our lovely Nursery benefits from a large indoor and outdoor area. To apply for a Nursery place, please contact the School Office on 01206 864375 where our Office Team would be happy to help with forms.  Once the child is ready to start, a stay and play session will be arranged.

Years Reception to Year 6

September admissions are processed through Essex County Council. Please use the link below to make a standard application for our Reception class.

With effect from 01 April 2022, mid-year applications are now being processed through the School Office.  If you would like to move your child into Willow Brook, please phone the School Office on 01206 864375 in the first instance to check if there is a place available in that class.  We will take some contact information and organise an application form to be sent to you.  The outcome of your application will be sent within 15 school days.

Timetable for Appeals

Your appeal will be heard at what is called a Hearing, within a time scale of 40 school days from 15th May 2024. It is likely to be heard at the end of June.

All other appeals known as ‘in-year’ admissions and those for Year R submitted after 15th May 2024 will be heard within 30 school working days of submitting the request.

Your appeal request should state your reasons for your request and any additional information/documentation/appendices should be submitted five days before the Hearing to allow time for it to be copied and distributed to all the interested parties. At least 10 working days before your appeal, unless you choose to waive this right, you will be sent detailed information regarding the process and also the date and names of the independent panel members who will hear the appeal.

The school is unable to guarantee that any original work/evidence/folders, submitted as part of the appeal, will be returned. Appellants may wish to submit copies in advance and then take important original documents verifying evidence to the appeal.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
