Term dates

This school sets its own term dates, which are different from Hertfordshire council's. See the school's own term dates.

Admissions

Places for Reception and junior school are applied for through your home council, not the school.

Apply for a primary school place on GOV.UK

How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.

How many families applied: Reception

For September 2026, 47 families put this school as their first choice, and 53 places were offered. 47 of the families who put it first got a place (100%).

Offers made on national offer day, from the Department for Education. Waiting lists and appeals can change things later. The hardest schools to get into.

Before and after school

No club is registered with Ofsted at this school's address. Ask the school about breakfast or after-school care, or find clubs nearby.
