Admissions and catchment
Year 3 entry · Hertfordshire council allocation figures, 2023–2026
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
The furthest child offered a place in 2025 lived 0.6 km from the school. Add your postcode to see where you would sit.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- Hertfordshire did not publish a usable cut-off for 2026, so this uses 2025.
- In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.6 km from the school. Hertfordshire printed 608.69 m (allocation day).
- 93 applications for 60 places in 2026 (1.6 per place).
What could change this
- We measure a straight line from your postcode centre. The council measures from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, so treat anything near the line with care.
- Cut-offs move every year with the number of applicants and siblings.
- Children with an EHC plan, looked-after children and siblings are usually offered places before distance is used.
- Past allocations never guarantee a place.
Rings are to scale in straight-line km. Your marker’s direction is arbitrary; only its distance from the school matters.
