Reception applications must be made through the Hertfordshire County Council website, who administer the process. Parents/carers will receive communication from the County Council informing them to begin to look for a school place. There is one intake into Reception each year, although there is a short, staggered start at the beginning of the Autumn term to allow children to settle.
