Cost — Free
Pupils in school — 1000+
Places available in year 7 — 180+

Catchment area — Chelmsford County High School for Girls does have a catchment area which gives priority based on location and distance from the school (up to 12.5 miles).
Oversubscription policy — Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:
A looked after child or previously looked after child who has achieved a score within the top or middle bands as advised in the CCHS Entrance Test result letter posted to parents, irrespective of where they permanently live.
Up to 30 places will be made available to applicants in receipt of pupil premium, who have achieved a score within the top or middle bands as advised in the CCHS Entrance Test result letter posted to parents and live at a permanent home address within the 12.5 mile priority area of the school.
Applicants living at a permanent home address within the 12.5 mile priority area of the school.
All remaining places will be allocated in descending score order from the Ranked List of Applicants irrespective of where they permanently live until all 180 places are filled.
Where there is a tie for the last available place, due to applicants achieving identical standardised aggregate test scores, preference will first of all be given to any applicants who are ‘looked after’ or have previously been looked after by a local authority and second to any applicant in receipt of pupil premium (evidence will be required).
Following this, preference will be given to siblings. Should there be no siblings, or should there be more applicants with siblings at the school than there are places available, then preference will be given to the girl(s) who live closest to the school by straight line measurement from the school to the permanent home address.
