We were over-subscribed again last year - please ensure you complete your application before the deadline to maximise your family's chance of obtaining a place. Failure to do so will significantly reduce any chance of successfully obtaining a place at our school.
Changing school
If your child is already attending a Primary school and you wish to move to Westerings, read ECC's information on moving to a different school.
All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school using the Westerings mid-year application form.
Please remember to include proof of your new address which must be:
a copy of a signed tenancy agreement if you are renting
a solicitor’s letter confirming you have exchanged contracts if you are purchasing your new home
Your child is not guaranteed a place at your preferred school. You should not remove your child from their school before you have received another offer.
We recommend that you:
speak to your child's current teacher or headteacher before applying to another school
contact the schools you are interested in before making a decision to move house or submit an application
