Education and learning – apply online

You can apply for school admissions, free school meals and free childcare for 2 year-olds ('early years funding'). Your login account for these services is separate to the login accounts you may use for other Thurrock Council services, such as council tax, benefits or housing. Part-completed applications can be saved and submitted at a later date.

How we will use your information

We will use your information to provide the service requested. We may share your personal data between our services and with partner organisations, such as government bodies and the police. We will do so when it is of benefit to you, or required by law, or to prevent or detect fraud.

Once the form has been completed, your information will be stored in printed copy and in an electronic database. Access to the information will be on a need-to-know basis and will be archived until 6 years after the child's 18th birthday, after which we will dispose of it securely. We ask you to include your council tax reference number so we can check the address on your application against information we have in our council tax records. To find out more, use the 'privacy' link.
