Please note that Nursery children do not automatically gain a place in our Reception class; a separate application must be made via Hertfordshire County Council.

Reception Admissions

Applications for our Reception class should be made via Hertfordshire County Council. The closing date for Reception applications is 15.1.2025. During the autumn term prior to the child’s admission date, parents will be sent a copy of the booklet ‘Starting School’. Applications can be submitted online or by returning the application form by post, and allocations are then confirmed during the spring term.

Further information on the application process can be found here:

Whilst the Reception application process must be completed via Hertfordshire County Council, at Woodhall we are happy to support you in any way that we can. For example, we can:

• Provide you with a paper application form;
• Help you to apply online or do it on your behalf;
• Support and guide you through the application process.

In Year Admissions

An application to move between schools in any other year group is known as an ‘In Year’ application. This is when a child wishes to transfer to another school outside of the usual transfer time, for example because of a change of address.

In Year admissions need to be submitted via Hertfordshire County Council.
