Applying for a school place
An application for a Reception place needs to be submitted online. The deadline for applications for places for September 2021 is Friday 15th January 2021, online. You must accept or decline the place offered by Friday 30 April 2021.
You can apply for a place for your child to start in September in the Reception Class using the admissions process operated by Herts County Council. You can apply for a place at any other time by applying directly to the School through the In-Year Application process.
When considering applications, the Governors of the School apply the Admissions Policy for the relevant academic year. The Admissions Policy for 2021-22 are attached to this page. If required, a paper copy can be obtained from the School office. There is an appeal process operated by Herts County Council if your chid is not offered a place at the School.
If there are fewer applications than places available at the School then all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places then the Admissions Criteria will apply. There are three Criteria, which will apply in the following order of priority:
Rule 1: Children looked after

Rule 3: All other children, wherever they live, with priority given to those who live the shortest distance from the School
The Admissions Policy makes it clear that St Nicholas School is here to serve the local community, is open to children of any faith or no faith, has a Christian character and promotes Christian values. Parents/carers are not required to complete a Supplementary Information Form when applying for a place at the School.
