Chelmer Valley High School is a popular school that is consistently oversubscribed. Our
admissions policy makes clear the order of priority given to prospective students. Our
priority admissions area includes many rural villages and hamlets and attendance at one of
our partner primaries (schools within the River Chelmer Partnership) does impact upon the
order of priority given to applications. Approximately 500 of our students travel to school via
a contracted bus service. Details of eligibility for subsidised bus travel and for costs of
standard travel can be sought from Essex County Council or directly from Lodge Coaches,
based in High Easter.
Admissions
Many of our students choose to continue their studies into our successful Sixth Form to take
advantage of our incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. We set very high
expectations of our students and in return we offer high quality teaching and many
opportunities for them to further their understanding of their chosen subjects. We pride
ourselves on the excellent standard of pastoral care, including very targeted support and
guidance for students across their time with us, which includes
focused
advice and guidance
for the UCAS application process and preparing them effectively for the world of work. A
purpose-built study centre for Sixth Form use only, supports independent learning and the
further development of study skills acquired at KS4.
