Applications for places at the Academy will be made in accordance with Essex Local Authority's co-ordinated admission arrangements and will be made on the Common Application Form and administered by the applicant’s home Local Authority.
Main Round
For all main round admissions (Year 6 to 7) applications must be made directly to Essex County Council as these are dealt with centrally.
For further information please see the Essex County Council website http://www.essex.gov.uk/admissions . Once a place has been confirmed, families will be contacted by the school.
To Book a tour please email contactus@maltingsacademy.org or call reception on 01376 512911.
Mid-Year Applications
If you would like to apply for a place at Maltings Academy outside of the Main Round, also go to Essex County Council website to download the secondary school mid-year application form. Forms need to be downloaded to be completed and should then be returned to the school, by email midyearadmissions@maltingsacademy.org, post or by handing them in at reception.
If you are unable to download the form, please email the Mid Year Admissions Team who can arrange for one to be posted to you. Please note that Page 3 (information from the current/previous school) MUST BE completed for the application to be considered.
Once we have the completed application form the team will be in contact with you to book you a tour of the academy. Please note this will be a general tour and there may not be the opportunity to meet individual members of staff such as the SENCO.
Waiting Lists
Waiting lists (expression of continued interest) for Main Round and Mid-Year Applications are held at the school. All applicants held on the waiting list are ranked by line of distance irrespective of the date of application.
