Our Lady of Lourdes Pre School

Every parent wants to send their child to the best school possible, thus we invite parents to visit our school so they can fully grasp our offerings and our culture.
Please go to the "beginning school in September 2022" website to take our virtual tour of our school and get a feel for it.
As a voluntary aided school in the Diocese of Brentwood, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School strives to always be a testimony to Jesus Christ.
Because we are a Catholic school, you must additionally fill out our Supplementary Information Form (SIF) when you apply for a spot. If you are a practising Catholic, ask your priest for a completed Certificate of Practise, and submit these documents with a copy of your child's baptismal certificate (if applicable).
Unless you are seeking for a Year 3 spot in the predetermined admissions round, you do not need to fill out the Councils form if you are looking for a seat in any other school year.
Notice regarding the Certificate of Catholic Practice from Our Lady of Lourdes Parish.
A Letter of Catholic Practise from the parish priest is necessary for parents who want to apply to Catholic primary schools for the upcoming academic year.
You may still apply to a Catholic school even if you do not practise Catholicism; however, your application will be evaluated for admissions under a different category.
Children from other countries typically have the right to attend schools in England.
Parents must confirm that their children have the legal right to attend school under the terms of their visa admission.
To assist parents, we advise people interested in applying for a state-funded school to confirm that they have a right of abode or that their visa requirements otherwise allow them to attend a state-funded school.
Foreign people cannot enter the UK to enrol as students at a school using a 6-month guest visa or a 6-month short-term study visa.
Visit the pages for visitor visas and short-term study visas to learn more about what these visas can be used for.
Our admissions authority is Southend Borough Council.
You might choose to appeal the judgement if your child's entrance application was denied.

The stated oversubscription criteria, as outlined in the admission arrangements for 2021–2022, will be applied where there are openings but more applications than openings.
The child will be put on the waiting list if there are no open spots.
For more information, please refer to the admission arrangements.
The conclusion of your application will be communicated to you in writing as soon as feasible.
In the event that your application is denied, you have the option to appeal to an impartial appeal panel.
