Arrangements for Admission for a Reception place

Parents of children coming up to school age will receive a booklet from Herts. County Council, which contains information as to how to apply for a primary school reception place. Applications can also be made on line by following this link. All responsibility for admission to our school lies with the education authority, so our Headteacher will not be able to give you a firm offer of a place.
