2024 ENTRY
Our Governing Body has now determined the policy for September 2024 Entry, the policy can be found in our Documents section at the end of this page. We are delighted that you are interested in sending your child to Our Lady’s, please do have a look at our Virtual Tour https://youtu.be/wrwEzWskzmE and our school prospectus which provides you with a wealth of information about our school. Here you can find information about our aims and ethos, curriculum, admissions and much more.
Visits to the school are now warmly welcomed and a programme of visits throughout the Autumn Term will be published in due course. Hertfordshire County Council have published a leaflet about applying for a school place in 2023/24 on their website which will give you all the information you will need.

Supplementary Information Form (‘SIF’) 2024 Entry | This form captures information which is additional to that which you provide on the Hertfordshire Common Application Form (or ‘CAF’). It helps make sure that the school, as a Catholic school, prioritises all applications correctly. While not a requirement, the school’s Governing Body asks that you complete the SIF to ensure that your application is given the correct priority.

There is no automatic transfer from the Nursery School to the Primary School. A further formal application must be made for entry to the Primary School.
The admissions process and all its forms can appear very confusing and daunting. Please feel free to call the school office if it helps to talk about the process.
IN YEAR APPLICATIONS
Occasionally we have vacancies in our school outside the normal admission times. If we do not have a vacancy you are still welcome to complete our in year admission form and return it to the school. Please download the form here.
