Admissions
Places for Reception and junior school are applied for through your home council, not the school.
Apply for a primary school place on GOV.UK
How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.

Ofsted inspection
Short (ungraded) inspection, 25 May 2023: School remains Good. It was inspected as Writtle Infant School, before the school changed (for example, became an academy).
From Ofsted's published inspection data (Open Government Licence). Report cards and older grades use different scales, so they can't be compared directly.
