Additional Tours for Prospective Nursery and Reception Parents 2026
If you were unable to attend our October tours, we are pleased to offer further opportunities to visit St Ursula’s Catholic Primary School.
These additional tours will take place on:
• Tuesday, 16th December at 9:10am
• Wednesday, 17th December at 9:15am
During these tours, you will receive detailed information about our Nursery and Reception provisions and have the chance to explore our welcoming school environment. As the tours occur during the school day, you will also have the unique opportunity to observe phonics lessons in action and experience the learning atmosphere that makes St Ursula’s a special place for children to grow and thrive.
To fully benefit from the information shared and to minimise disruption to our pupils’ learning, we kindly ask that you arrange childcare for your own child during the tour. If you are unable to attend these sessions, please visit our dedicated Prospective Parents page on our website, which will be available after these tours. There, you will find comprehensive information and answers to frequently asked questions.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school community and sharing how we nurture every child to achieve their full potential in a supportive, inclusive, and faith-centred environment.
Please call the school office on 01708 345200, to book your space on our tour.

In-Year Admissions
If a child is already in primary aged education, parents may apply if they want their child to go to a different school. If families have moved house, they can also apply to change school during the school year. We call this an in year admission.
Parents can make an in year application with Havering Admissions for St Ursula’s Catholic Primary School, along with most other schools in Havering. Parents can list up to four school preferences. If places are available, Havering Admissions will offer families their highest preference possible. Again, this type of application can only be done online.
If you are told a place is not available at our school, you may wish to add yourself onto the waiting list held by Havering Admissions. You will be contacted by them if a place becomes available for you. Waiting lists for all schools close at the end of each academic year. You must submit a new application for the approaching academic year and children will not be considered for any places until the new application is received.
Children are admitted to school following our published criteria which you can read below. Preference will be given to baptised practising Catholic children whose application is accompanied by a Baptismal certificate or reception into Church, proof of date of birth and paperwork showing verification of address.
The Governing Body is the Admission Authority and as such is fully responsible for all admissions to the school. Applicants must complete the supplementary information form as part of their application, this can be done by printing and completing a Supplementary Information Form below.
