Has your child turned 3 years old? They can start nursery one term after their 3rd birthday. We currently have vacancies in our Nursery and spaces for September 2026.

School Admissions (Reception to Year 6) - How to apply

Every primary school has a size based on the admission number. This is the agreed and planned number of pupils in the year group that can be safely and comfortably fitted into the school. Coppice Primary School is a two form entry school which means we have two classes of 30 pupils in each year group (PAN 60). You can apply for up to six Redbridge community schools, giving your reasons. Each application will be considered equally. If there are more applications than places available, the following criteria will be used in priority order to decide how places will be allocated:

• “looked after” children, that is children in public care.
• Children where it is agreed that it is essential they be admitted to the school on exceptional medical or psychological grounds.
• Children with siblings who are already on roll at the school and will still be on roll when the child is admitted.
• Children living nearest to the school as measured by the shortest walking distance from the child’s home to the main entrance of the school using public roads and recognised footpaths. Within each category, the shortest measured walking distance from the child’s home to school, using public roads and footpaths, is used to give priority to applicants. Confirmations of placements are usually given in April.
