For Your Information
The summer holidays will finally be here at 215pm on Tuesday 23rd July and hopefully the sun will make an extended appearance too!
 
There are lots of things available to families throughout the summer and we have displayed this information on the noticeboards in the alleyway between the main gates to both sites. We have listed activities to do, cheap or free places for children to eat and information about courses happening for families supporting children with additional needs. Don't forget to take a photo when you are collecting your child at the end of the day!
 
We are aware that the holidays are not always easy as normal routine and everyday life is suddenly changed (and that's for children too, not just us adults!). If you are finding it challenging, then please visit our website page which lists the support agencies available: Signposts to support home adults
 
We hope you all have an enjoyable break and can't wait to see you back on Wednesday 4th September for another exciting year ahead!

Starting Reception in September 2024

We are very proud of our school and we are sure your child will make a fantastic start to their education here!

All children start in Reception in September. We recognise that the first term in Reception is an important transition point and we make sure that the activities support all the children, including those who may be away from home for a full day for the first time.

The application process for Reception 2024/25 opens on 1st November 2023 (Closing date 15th January 2024). All applications for Reception places are handled by the local authority - you can find more information on the Herts County Council website.  If you do not have easy access to a computer, or if you need any assistance working out what to do, please contact the school office on 01438 351053 - we will be able to help.

If you would like more information about applying for a Reception place for September 2024, or would like arrange a visit to come and see our wonderful school, please contact Amy McDonagh (Admissions Administrator) on 01438 351053 or email her at amy.mcdonagh@fairlands.herts.sch.uk, or the school office team at admin@fairlands.herts.sch.uk
