Ensure you apply for a secondary place by Saturday, October 31

The easiest way to apply for a place for September 2016 is via the online application form at www.
hertsdirect.org/admissions

You can also access your school offer before 
allocation letters are 
received and accept your 
allocation online.

Last year, 99 per cent of parents applied online and 95 per cent were allocated a place at one of their four ranked primary or secondary schools.

Councillor David 
Williams, cabinet member for enterprise, education and skills, said: “We have a good track record of getting children a place at one of the preferred schools and 
understand this is very 
important to parents and carers.

“Despite our hard work, we are not always able to completely satisfy parental preference. I would urge 
parents to carefully consider the preferences they make and to visit local schools 
before applying.”
