Applications for School Places

Applications must be made online at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/admissions. Online applications for Reception (current Nursery age children) opens on 1st November 2022 and closes on 15th January 2023.

When will my child start primary school?

All primary schools offer children a full-time place at the start of the September term in the academic year of their 5th birthday. There is a short transition period of mornings only and then the children attend full time.

Please apply for a place by the stated closing date.

Please note that attendance at a nursery does not guarantee a place in the reception class of a school. You must make a new application for a place in a reception class even if your child is currently attending the school's nursery class. Every year some children who have been allocated a place in a school's nursery class fail to get a place in the reception class. This is because there are more applications for reception places than nursery places, and all schools must ensure that their admission arrangements do not discriminate against families who were unable to take up a place in the nursery class or, for example, move into an area after nursery places have been allocated.
