Admissions

Essendine Primary School is a community school for girls and boys from 3 to 11 year-olds.  Our children come from Maida Vale, Kilburn and the wider areas around Westminster.

Admission to the primary school (Reception to Year 6) is handled by the Westminster Admissions Team (see link below).  Deadline for Reception 2026 applications is 15 January 2026. If you have missed the deadline, please complete your online application form as soon as possible via www.eadmissions.org.uk as in some circumstances the Westminster Admissions Team may still be able to treat your application as on-time.

If you want to know more about Essendine, please do contact the school office for an appointment.
