In Year Admissions

The In Year Admissions process should be used for entry into Reception (during the school year) and years 1-6 (at any time).  

Applications are managed by Hertfordshire County Council. Please also fill in the Supplementary Information Form and email it to admin@abbey.herts.sch.uk or bring it to the School Office. This form is required as part of the admissions process but if we have places available in the year it will not usually be material to your application.

Admission will be on the basis of places being available in the relevant year group. We have a Pupil Admission Number (PAN) of 30 children per year group. If there are more applicants than there are places available, the available places will be allocated according to the Admission Policy. In year applications must be resubmitted every September.

Please contact the Office Manager who will be happy to assist with any queries and offer a tour of the school.

Once your application has been accepted please fill in our Admission Form and email it to admin@abbey.herts.sch.uk or bring it to the School Office.

Appeals

Appeals are managed by Hertfordshire County Council. You may be able to appeal a Reception Class for September 2027 admissions decision or appeal an in year admissions decision.
