School places for children from Ukraine

We are warmly welcoming individuals and families from Ukraine to Essex. During this time, we are supporting them, and their sponsors, to help them settle into their new communities. This includes meeting any welfare needs as well as children and young people’s educational needs.
All families arriving from Ukraine will need to follow the established process for mid-year school admissions.
We will work closely with schools to ensure that all children are placed in schools within a reasonable distance of their homes.
The educational needs of all children living and arriving in Essex remains our top priority and we will continue to support both families and schools with school admissions along with other needs the families may have.
