Reception visits November 2026
For children with DOB 01/09/2022 to 31/08/2023 (starting school in September 2027).
We do hope you will be able to join us on one of our Reception visits.
Tours of the school will take place with Sophie Driver (Headteacher) at 9 am followed by a visit to the Reception classes. We expect to be finished by approximately 10 am.
Please note you will be visiting us on a normal working day when lessons will continue as usual. To make these visits as accessible and meaningful as we can we limit the number of prospective new families we have on site. If possible we request that children do not attend the tour allowing parents to fully focus on the information being shared.
There is no parking available on our school site. If you do need to drive to us we request that you park considerately on one of the residential roads near the school. Entry to the school will be via the main Cambridge Road entrance only.
You may book a place at one of the following sessions through Eventbrite by clicking on one of the dates below:
If you are unable to attend one of tours, please take a look at our virtual tour here:

In Year Admissions
If you have moved or you want your child to go to a different school, you can apply to change school during the school year. This is called an "in year admission".
All in year admissions from Reception to Year 6 are dealt with by Hertfordshire County Council, please click here for more information.
If you are allocated a place, you will be offered a visit to the school. Please note we do not offer visits prior to the allocation unless there is a place available.
