Reaching high for the best for your child

Moving to Fairlands

In Year Admissions
 
Are you considering a Transfer to Fairlands Primary School?
We understand that changing schools is a big decision for families and we encourage open communication with your child's current school throughout the process.
 
Moving your child (Nursery to Year 6) to Fairlands Primary School during the school year is called an 'in-year' admission. Fairlands Primary School administrates its own in-year admissions.
 
Applying for a Place
In-year applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis upon receiving your online form. To apply, please submit the following:
  • Online application form: https://forms.office.com/e/7cefN2DgRu
  • Email: admin@fairlands.herts.sch.uk (include child's name, date of birth, and your contact details)
  • Telephone 01438 351053 and ask to speak to the admissions manager.

If you are applying for Nursery please do so by completing a Nursery application form:
Nursery Application Form - This academic year (for children born between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021)
Nursery Application Form - September 2025 (for children born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022)

Limited Availability
Some year groups may be full, and we cannot admit more students than our published admission number (PAN) of 90 per year group. In such cases, your child will be placed on a waiting list based on the application timestamp.

Offer of a place
When we are able to offer a space within the required year group, we will invite you to come and have a tour with the deputy head and discuss next steps from there.

Required Documentation
While no additional information is required for an initial offer,  you will be required to provide proof of your child's date of birth, such as a birth certificate or passport, as well as proof of their home address - this can be a council tax bill, utility bill, solicitor's letter upon completion, or signed tenancy agreement. This is required before a place is formally agreed.
 
If you're moving, please provide a tenancy agreement showing the start date or a solicitor's letter confirming the completion date. We won't update your address until we have proof of permanent residence.
 
Recent Arrivals to the UK - If you recently relocated to the UK, we will need proof of your child's arrival date such as flight tickets.

If you would like to discuss your application in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact us at admin@fairlands.herts.sch.uk or by calling the school office on 01438 351053 to speak to our admissions manager.
