Reception applications must be made through Hertfordshire County Council website at www.hertsdirect.org/admissions 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.
