Admission rules
Pull up a chair... let's chat about Hertfordshire's admission rules |
To use the Admission Calculator, you will need to work out which rule you’ll be considered under, for each school that you’re interested in. You will probably find that you qualify under different rules for different schools.
Once you've selected a school, using the Admission Calculator, the admission rules will pop up under the map. Go through the rules in turn, starting at 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, and find the first one that applies to you. Put this rule in the Calculator, as it's the rule you will be considered under if the school is oversubscribed. At the top of the rules, you can see what type of school it is (eg, voluntary-aided mixed-sex primary school). Click on the text, and you can find out what that actually means...
First, choose between primary or secondary schools:
Primary schools
A-Z of primary schools and their school types

Rules for academies, foundation and voluntary-aided primary schools

Please note: SchoolGuru has changed the wording of the rules slightly to make them easier to interpret. The rules in their original form are the copyright of Hertfordshire County Council and can be viewed on their website. For more information, visit Herfordshire County Council's website
