Mary Exton Primary School
Admission arrangements
Mary Exton Primary School applies Hertfordshire County Council's Determined Admission Arrangements.
The school plans various opportunities for prospective parents to visit the school.
In Reception all children start in September. A recent change made by the Government, which allows parents and carers the option to defer entry for Summer born children has been put in place. This is a recent change to procedure and will be discussed during the tours around school.
During the Summer term an Induction meeting is held for parents. Invitations will be sent to those who are allocated a place. During the meeting there is an opportunity to meet key members of staff and arrange home visits.
We would love to show you around our school and show you all of the fantastic things going on in each classroom. If you would like to book in for a school tour, please complete the form in the link below:
