Admissions

If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. Children start school in the September of the academic year they become five years of age.

We are happy to show prospective parents around the school, by prior arrangement through the school office. We hold an Open Morning for prospective Reception parents each December.

In the term prior to admission to Reception, the children are invited to spend some time in the class. In addition, a welcome meeting is hosted by the school staff. The meeting provides parents with information about the organisation and curriculum of the school and an opportunity for parents to ask questions.

Both Reception and In-Year applications for admission to Birchwood Avenue Primary School can be made through Hertfordshire County Council, please click here to view their website or call 0300 123 4043.
