Year 7

Each September an open evening is held when prospective parents and members of the local community are welcome to visit the school. The school opens its doors across all subject areas and two presentations are made by the Headteacher in the Dame Elizabeth Hall, when staff can meet prospective parents and explain in detail the admission procedures and answer any questions.

Parents should be aware that offers for places at the William de Ferrers School will be made on behalf of the Local Governing Body by the Local Education Authority. Completed application forms, as found in the Secondary Education in Essex booklet distributed from your Primary School, must be returned to the Local Education Authority by the stated deadline.

During the month of June prior to the September entry, a further meeting is held when the headteacher and senior staff meet with parents to provide an overview of life in Year 7 and answer any questions.
