Working happily together; inspiring a desire to learn. 

The time is approaching where you will start to embark on the primary school journey for your child. We recognise that this is a very important decision and that you choose the school that feels right for you and your family. 

Choosing to join Hockley Primary School will be an opportunity to be a part of the special and exciting  next chapter of our school's history! 

You can apply for primary (reception) school place at an Essex primary school between 6 November 2023 and 15 January 2024 here

We strongly recommend that you visit all schools before making your final decision. All families have up to the 15th January to make their decision and it is not a first come first served basis. Please take your time in making the best decision for your family. 


Why choose us?

As mentioned above, this is a very special opportunity to join our school and be a part of something special!

In January 2024, we will have a brand new modern school building with all new facilities and provisions for all of our children! Along with our new building, children at Hockley Primary School will still have access to our adventure playground, beautiful woodland areas and new school field. 

Our brand new school building will compliment our already established exceptional teaching and learning which drives our high performing outcomes. Our end of Key Stage results and Phonics outcomes are consistently significantly above national expectations and one of the strongest in our 57 school's academy trust. This celebrates our school ethos "mighty oaks from little acorns grow..." where we have high expectations and tailored provision for each and every child. 

At Hockley Primary School our ethos goes beyond a building, we offer a small, family feel community school where everyone gets to know each other very well.

It is essential for us that we create an environment of emotional  warmth, with consistent praise and encouragement, so that each child feels individually valued, motivated, safe, secure and therefore confident, to meet new challenges and reach our high expectations with a sense of achievement and pride.


We aim to ignite a life-long love of learning within the EYFS, and promote the social, emotional, physical, spiritual and intellectual development of each child. 


Teaching and learning opportunities are based around the individual interests and fascinations of the child, alongside stimulating and challenging adult led curriculum sessions. Provision is tailored in a way which promotes enthusiasm, independence and autonomy.
